Moment Sound is thrilled to bring you the first netlabel release:

what's a garo?

What’s a Garo?

It is hard to place Garo’s sound. I would be so bold to say he sounds like no one else. Certainly not anyone I know. Imagine 8-bit video game textures combined with electro-pop melodicism and vibrating bass lines borrowed from UK garage and dubstep – that’s a Garo.

Garo has been playing live electronic music with the help of multiple hardware machines in Chicago for over a decade. He has been creating most of his music to be played live via his jazz-caliber electronic improvisation technique. In fact this release consists of nothing more than unedited, often single-take recordings he has made playing Korg Electribe samplers and drum machines.

Garo’s Myspace

to shed some light on the issue at hand, Coyote DG asked Garo a few questions:

Though I frequently encounter the man at fashionable parties, on the street, and at Atomix Café, there are still many things that I don’t know about Garo. When Slava asked me to interview him for the first Moment Sound netlabel release, I jumped at the opportunity. Who is this guy that I’ve been sharing billing with over the past year? What can I learn from him? And what is a “Garo” anyways?
We bounced emails back and forth over the course of several days, and here is the result. Enjoy!
