About Visible Cloaks
Visible Cloaks is the duo of Spencer Doran and Ryan Carlile, working out of Portland since the early 2010s. Their records use digital synthesis, sampled voices and the bright, slightly artificial textures of early computer music, arranged into slow, open pieces. The album Reassemblage, released on RVNG Intl., brought them wider attention, and Serenitatem was a collaboration with the Japanese musicians Yoshio Ojima and Satsuki Shibano.
Doran's research into Japanese ambient and environmental music grew out of his long-running mixes on the subject and led to Kankyō Ongaku, a compilation he assembled for Light in the Attic that received a Grammy nomination for best historical album.
