Based in Brooklyn,
New York, Composer/Performers Terry Golob & Michele Darling AKA Aerostatic,
utilize artifacts of sound generated by digital and analog processing
in conjunction with a variety of interactive technologies. They compose
a hybrid style of electronic music for performance, films, installations,
and game environments. Their sonic aesthetic is a synthesis of formal
classical elements manipulated by modern processes and the hyper-rhythmic
pulse of futuristic electronics. The result evokes the intricacies of
biomechanics and the integration of embedded micro technologies with existing
and yet to be discovered organic entities.
AerostaticŐs music has been featured in venues, museums, festivals and
performances in the United States, Argentina, England, Austria, Italy,
Australia and Serbia. Their music and sound design clients include Sesame
Street (Sesame Workshop), HBO, The Learning Channel, Moshi Monsters, Four
Kids Entertainment and The Criterion Collection. Michele Darling is currently
a professor of audio and sound design at the Long Island University, Brooklyn,
NY Media Arts Department.
