Visible Cloaks
AGENTAndrew Patterson
Visible Cloaks are Spencer Doran and Ryan Carlile, two musicians working in the spaces between composition and sound design, arrangement and environment, place and non-place. They have spent over a decade developing an approach to amorphous, omni-directional digital composition intended to be appreciated in both active and passive listening space, focusing on abstraction over ambience. This work has taken many forms: site-specific multi-channel pieces, live A/V performances, compositions for aleatoric chamber ensembles (Doran’s Componium Ensemble), workshops, albums, EPs, film scores, VGM composing (Season: A letter to the Future), corporate sound design, collaborations with musicians like Miyako Koda, Motion Graphics, Seungmin Cha, Félicia Atkinson, Yoshio Ojima and Satsuki Shibano, and music for installations by artists like Brenna Murphy, Mike Tyka and Nile Koetting.
Both live and in the studio, their work focuses on the artifice of digital representation, utopian flashes seen in cultural exchange, the cartography of virtual worlds and the glistening sheen of the hyperreal.
