Performance Projects

Dexer Glut

Dexer Glut is a Berlin-based experimental sound project made up of Sierra Klingele (inter-traditional composer & vocalist) and Page Swanson (technician & artist using microphonic feedback). Together, their music folds space and sound into the sound space. It shimmers when the ear searches.

Breeze

Seattle band Breeze is a melting of hardcore fuzz and soaring melodies over gleaming guitar feedback. Abstract lyrics, often woven into noisey refrains, gravitate towards rainy, self-reflective themes which are broken up by textural instrumental interludes. Breeze consists of members Dan, Taylor, Thomas and Sierra and has released two albums and one single.

“when she reaches”

solo EP

Sierra Klingele’s five track solo EP was released in the winter of 2016. It was recorded and produced in collaboration with Seattle-based recording engineer and music producer Geoff Traeger. Ornamented with playful vocalisations and expansive effects, the songs have a constrastingly hard lean into melancholy and fury.
