Channel Surfing is a quasi-vaporwave project, meaning that it predates vaporwave and was initially influenced by the glitch and idm scenes of the 90’s and early 2000’s. With Channel Surfing, the focus is on microhouse and shoegaze. On ‘Paradox In The Bathroom’, the project took a detour and focused on lyrics. This time, it was the political solitude of an uncertain future, capturing the in-between moments of both turmoil and tranquility in America. Sonically, ‘Paradox’ uses Sound Design as a songwriting tool. Drum machines were treated like synthesizers, and field recordings were processed like guitars, offering a very environmental spin on the “rock formula”. Channel Surfing is a band from the Mojave Desert. The locus of Channel Surfing is “Ethereal Synthesis” in all its various forms. From album to album, the locus changes, falling together or falling apart, but the same ethereal techniques apply in different ways. Sometimes outspoken and political, other times quiet and introspective.
