Curious Music is pleased to announce the release of Eve and David 1 by multi-disciplinary artists Eve Maret and David Onri Anderson. A hand-numbered limited edition (of 300) cd and digital download release on April 12, 2022 and are available for pre-order now.
Eve and David began their improvised sessions during lockdown in 2020. Without a specific intent, the duo recorded dozens and dozens of hours of music, slowly creating a fascinating pool of varied pieces from which they chose the most compelling, eventually leading to Eve and David 1. Inspired by 70's Krautrock, funk, ambient, and free jazz, their debut album explores a sound that slips in and out of identifiable genres, creating a wholly unique sound. Their first single, "Labyrinth," offers driving beats and pulsing rhythms with psychedelic guitar somewhat reminiscnent of Eno/Byrne’s My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, while other tracks like, "For Snippy," take the listener on a calming journey of synthesized abstraction.
About Eve and David
Eve and David is a Nashville-based couple that creates ritualistic psychedelia from their home studio. They are inspired by grooves and beats of 70s funk and electronica, as well as ambience and meditation. These seemingly opposing forces coalesce in their heart-felt improvised sounds.
David Onri Anderson is a Tennessee-born French-Algerian Jewish artist, musician, and curator. He graduated from Watkins College of Art in Nashville with the Anny Gowa Purchase Award in 2016. He has had solo exhibitions at Patrick Painter Gallery in Los Angeles, CA, Harpy Gallery in Rutherford, NJ, David Lusk Gallery in Nashville, TN, Atlanta Contemporary, amongst others. In 2020 he published a book of drawings with Zürich-based artist book company, Nieves. His work has been reviewed, exhibited and collected internationally with works in permanent collections including the Soho House in Los Angeles, CA and Nashville, TN, The Joseph Hotel, and the Metro Arts Library in Nashville, TN, amongst others. Anderson is founder and curator of an artist-run space called Electric Shed Gallery in Nashville, TN (2018-present). His work has been reviewed in Art in America, Artnet, BURNAWAY, DailyLazy and more.
Eve Maret is a Nashville-based experimental artist and composer who employs a wide array of electronic media and techniques in her various disciplines, exploring the possibilities of personal and communal healing through creative action. Drawing inspiration from nineteenth-century orchestral and choral works, the Fluxus movement, Kosmische Musik and funk, Eve makes use of digital and analog synthesizers, clarinet, electric bass, acoustic drums, and more to create works that range from lush cinematic compositions to space techno. Eve has released four solo albums since 2016, most recently The Zone on Curious Music. Her music has been reviewed by WIRE Magazine, Bandcamp Daily, and the Chicago Reader. She has toured across the US and has performed alongside Lydia Lunch, Xiu Xiu, Sun Araw, JEFF the Brotherhood. In 2018, Eve co-founded Hyasynth House, an electronic music collective for femme and LGBTQA+ artists.
