ARIA Award-nominated composer and electronic artist Lance Gurisik has announced his forthcoming album PROFFER. Set to be released under his Sydney-based label 33 Sides, Proffer promises to be a groundbreaking exploration of experimental electronic, jazz, and modern classical forms. PROFFER is a psychedelic fusion record that blends eclectic musical influences. It draws inspiration from German krautrock hero Manuel Göttsching, French synth legends AIR, minimalist composer Terry Riley, and classical composers Ralph Vaughan Williams and Alexander Scriabin. The album is a maximalist exploration of experimental electronic, jazz, and modern classical forms. The album features collaborations with Lamorna Nightingale from Australia's premier Ensemble Offspring on alto and bass flute, Nick Meredith on drums and percussion, a 16-piece string section performed by Ian Cooper on violins and violas, Paul Ghica on Viola da Gamba and cellos, and Lance himself on modular synth and keyboards. PROFFER challenges the prevailing norms in the music industry, advocating for music as a vehicle of escapism and self-exploration through active listening. The album’s maximalist approach to composition and production pushes the boundaries of where experimental electronic, jazz, and modern classical forms meet, creating an adventurous and cinematic listening journey.
