Aperiodic is Kevin Parrett (guitar, voice, samples, piano), Ben Perkins (upright bass, gu qin, rudra veena, surbahar, transients), and Matt Schulz (drums, etc). It began in southern Ohio in 1997 as three friends gradually abandoning song structure in favor of group improvisation- using feedback and freedom as the tools for re-configuring the ideas set forth by the noise rock underground and avant-garde music of the 50's and 60's. AmRep meets Impulse!
After a year's worth of gigs and a cassette release, Matt moved to NYC to play with Enon, Ben moved to Chicago and began The Exponential, while Kevin remained in Dayton to study.
They continued to collaborate via mail and the internet, the fruits of which can be heard on their Generate Records 7", which marked their return to playing live together (after 11 years) in late 2009. Aperiodic's first full length LP, "Future Feedback", is due out later this year.
