Rrose is the latest incarnation of Seth Horvitz, an interdisciplinary artist from California (residing in London since 2015) whose 30+ year musical history weaves in and out of dancefloor culture and academic circles. Seth’s work focuses on the limits of perception and the idiosyncrasies of machines, and the Rrose project applies these ideas in order to create a noisy, yet intricately layered and immersive form of techno. From this core, the project extends its tentacles into specific pockets of the avant-garde, leading to collaborations with artists such as Bob Ostertag and Charlemagne Palestine and reinventions of works by 20th century composers such as James Tenney. Rrose’s first vinyl releases on the Sandwell District label came cloaked in mystery, as did the following string of releases on his/her own Eaux label. As a DJ and live performer, Rrose has appeared at warehouses, clubs, museums, forests, ventilations shafts, opera houses, and sweaty basements across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
