About Tyondai Braxton
Tyondai Braxton is the son of the jazz composer and saxophonist Anthony Braxton. He came to wide attention as a founding member of the New York math-rock band Battles, where his looped guitar and pitch-shifted vocals drove songs such as "Atlas" from the album Mirrored. He left the band to concentrate on his own work.
As a solo artist he builds pieces from live looping, modular synthesis and notated orchestral parts. Central Market, released on Warp, set his layered guitar and electronics against an ensemble. Later, on Nonesuch, HIVE1 moved into percussion-heavy, rhythmically dense electronic composition, staged as a live performance piece with percussionists and synthesists.
