Jefruit
Jefruit a.k.a. fruitofthegloom is a one-man band utilizing true musical instruments (electric/acoustic guitars, keyboards, drums and percussions) with virtual sound generators via a computer to design sound that resembles some music genre from an undiscovered exotic place somewhere the uncertain China direction. Currently experimenting with the vintage analog keyboards sound of the "moog" and the distinct voice filtering effects of the "vocoder"; Jefruit introduce us another pallette of electronic sound experimentation. Combining all this sound ideas with his odd life personal experiences as a subject matter; Jefruit cleverly manage to seduce its listeners alienating them to the fact that he is not really a musician but a charlattan of experimental expression.
Once quoted: "i like creating sounds that simulates music and try to generate visions out of it. It's like another extension of my involvement in the visual arts. Arranging is not very far from painting, there is light and shadow, lines and different patterns. The only difference seems to be is i'm hearing the composition"
