the whole biography
Photay is the solo musical endeavor of Evan Shornstein, hailing from the lush and peaceful evergreen valley of Woodstock, NY. Having been introduced to Aphex Twin at the tender age of 9, he quickly began to embrace music in all of its forms. This early inspiration provided a foundation for his musical growth in drumming, turntablism and eventually composition. Years later, after an eye-opening trip to Guinea, West Africa, Photay was born. Combining his newly acquired knowledge of polyrhythmic percussion and years of experimenting with sampling and field recordings, he went on to create and self-release his first project under the alias. Seamlessly combining a variety of audio sources and techniques, Photay’s sound is a balancing act of analog and digital, of natural and synthetic. It is not designed exclusively for headphones nor the dancefloor, but is genuinely at home in both contexts.Their RA profile lists Astro Nautico.Recently at public records, Black Flamingo · often with Toribio, Uptown Vinyl Supreme, Chuwee, none of them here that night

Your favorite band’s “favorite band to get down to,” Roost.World makes dark electro dance music with a post-punk edge, fit for the midnight gloom of a graveyard.Last at Alphaville in Dec · often with Mole, Bone Bone, Crackhead Barney Music Lovers Anonymous, none of them here that night
