sum(titles) - Airless World (DESTINY RECORDS 2018)


Aeric Meredith-Goujon (bass, drums, vocals) and Cameron Mizell (guitar, effects), have collaborated as the musical backdrop for the Brooklyn-based experimental dance theater company ChristinaNoel & The Creature since 2015. Creating atmospheric textures and all variety of grooves for dancers provided the pair opportunities to improvise together as accompanists. As a separate musical entity, they create music under the moniker sum(titles), improvising within the parameters of their own curiosities. Meredith-Goujon’s layered beats and textures of electronic percussion, bass, and vocals form a foundation for Mizell’s strong melodic sensibilities and atmospheric adventures. Their debut album, Airless World, ventures from atonal improvisation to deep afrofunk grooves and instrumental hard rock. Gradual shifts in mood roam through sonic alien landscapes, finding familiar moments, like a forgotten dream that returns moments before waking. Recorded and mixed by Nolan Thies at The Bunker Studios in Brooklyn, NY. Mastered by Mike Shields in Austin, TX.
