Avi
Granite composer, guitarist, producer. |
Avi Granite, an improvising restructuralist composer, guitarist and producer from Toronto based in New York. Highly influenced by all things aural, he offers a splendor of sonic output ranging from neo-jazz via the Avi Granite:6 (Pet Mantis Records) and International Quartet AG:4 to faux beat and sample based mayhem through Vitamin P. Also involved in 8-bit explorations with Viewfinder and the electronica influenced trio Nautilus, Granite carves out new works for a range of projects from independent film scores to a book of new music for an 11 piece ensemble as well graphic pieces (8mm, Inside). |

jazz of such original coinage. I loved it..." |
