Void Patrol is the debut recording of musical adventurers Colin Stetson (saxophones), Elliott Sharp (strings and electronics), Billy Martin (drums & percussion), and Payton MacDonald (keyboard percussion). In the far reaches of space an intrepid crew of sonic innovators patrols the void. This new quartet that fuses elements of jazz, drone, and metal. Drawing on decades of experience with exploratory music, the members of the quartet have collaborated with Arcade Fire, Medeski, Martin, & Wood, Tom Waits, Alarm Will Sound, Jack DeJohnette, Oliver Lake, Iggy Pop, and many more. The five tracks might be described as “jazz dronecore funk metal,” sonic explorations into the deepest regions of space and time. Payton MacDonald brought the four of them together, with just enough structure to shape their creative forces, until their sonic waves burst out of the computer and into the cosmos. Their recording includes five tracks that by turns groove, wail, sing, and mosh with creative abandon. This is the music of our time: far-reaching, exploratory, effortlessly transcending genres, yet grounded in groove and drone. released June 17, 2022 Colin Stetson, saxophones Elliott Sharp, strings & electronics Billy Martin, drums & percussion Payton MacDonald, keyboard percussion Project concept and arrangements by Payton MacDonald Mixing by Payton MacDonald Mastering by Sam Torres Graphic Designer Dustin Krcatovich Reuben Radding, photography © & ℗ 2022 Kaida Music (ASCAP) © 2022 zOaR Music - BMI © 2022 Billy Martin / Amulet Records © 2022 Colin Stetson all rights reserved
