Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In 2007, Chris Rushing and Gaël Pirlot began a project with the intention of juxtaposing challenging compositions with melodic ideas; the result became The Universe Divide. The project became dormant as the two exhausted their hopes of finding a percussionist and began focusing on other musical endeavors (Canvas Solaris, The Burden of Existence). However, in 2009, a chance encounter with drummer Jason Parker revived the project and the quest for intergalactic entropy.
2010 has brought the trio out of rehearsal and onto multiple stages across Atlanta. The new 5 song E.P. produced by Jamie King at The Basement Recording is set to be released Summer of 2011.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We have played a few local shows with some great bands and have had the opportunity to play with a couple of national acts.
Special moments include receiving an envelope with $4 in cash as payment for a show in the middle of nowhere.
