Morgan Garrett

Morgan Garrett has long been and continues to be a stalwart presence in independent American experimental music. One of those souls reared in the borderlands where rural Appalachia begins to melt into the Midwest, where the long shadows of DuPont Chemical and Perdue Pharma lay over thousands of lives. His artistic voice is rooted in performing and hosting hundreds of underground shows at what the coastal trainees of various art institutions often view as a distant cultural out-road. Reaching for any sonic tools without pretense of recapitulating any musical tradition, his work evades the confines of genre, but has found a home amidst both the more personal and off-kilter visions from American noise and industrial music, as well as the fringes of underground electronic music.
