Wikipedia
Seeming
Seeming is a musical act based in Ithaca, New York. Signed to Artoffact Records, they have released three albums since 2014. Seeming is primarily a project of Alex Reed, working with Aaron Fuleki. Both previously played in the band ThouShaltNot. Reed is associate professor of music at Ithaca College, and previously taught at New York University, The University of Florida, and the College of William & Mary. He has also written several books on music including Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music.The Toronto Star describes Seeming's musical style as "cathedral-sized electronic soundscapes consistently whipped to a windblown frenzy," while elsewhere the band is described as "post-anthropocene gothic funk." Lyrical themes explore evolution, the advancement of humanity, challenging restrictive concepts and rules, the ideals of promoting the greater good over oneself, and the adverse effects of capitalism. The band has recorded with noise artist Merzbow, rapper Sammus, and witch-house act ∆AIMON. Their albums have been co-produced and engineered with avant-garde percussionist Sarah Hennies, Daniel Myer of Haujobb, Paul Kendall, Andrew Sega, Alex Perialas, and Bob Power.
