Bio: If you can for a moment take the concepts of what you hear above with the vocal and song writing style of Seamus, forged with the spacial ambiance influence of guitarist Nadeem Ahmed, and multiplied 10 fold with the brilliance of members Charles Trey Norris on percussion marking in as the most unique drummer around in New York with his intricate jazz style and Charles J. Jourdan playing bass/strings a music theory minister at the ripe age of 16...You can come to a plane where 4 musicians from 4 different worlds within worlds within lovely long island have come together to shake up the levels and send this f*cker into a tail spin...thats where youll find Apophenia...disaster zones are sort of a collection of memories for us...but sometimes accidents are quite beautiful when u bump into the right walls and are forced to - stop - look - around - and unwind in the moment... Take a multi-instrumentalist Irish singer/song writer [Seamus Kerley] that comes from an acoustic rock upbringing and take a multi-faceted Pakistani-American guitarist [Nadeem Ahmed] that comes from the depths of the electronica/ambient/experimental mantels of Radiohead and Aphex twin, mix them with a 16-year-old Haitian bass player [Charles Javier Jourdan] trained in classical music who plays bass, strings and cello and has been influenced by jazz, metal, and funk and an African-American percussion prodigy [Charles "Trey" Norris], who has been playing for nearly 13 years of his life making a name as a top gospel talent in New York, with eccentric off-beat patterns that can only come from the soul of jazz music... and you have yourself a shell-shaped idea of what apophenia is. Live, Seamus Kerley, has magnetism and charisma to spare, the bands intensity and musicianship communicates with audiences. If you were looking for something a bit polished apophenia disappoints with dissidence... Technology places a dream like theme into their music...In this vast country we live in, four people living in condensed towns where the aimless souls do "the drifters dance instigated in them the same sense of alienation, isolation, and asphyxiation. They pranced about beneath the street lights had a vision... They saw a hope past the muddy polluted skies above our homes and past our tunnel driven life styles and beyond the boundaries of a social smog that sings lullabies for those who weep. The music captures the emotion of lost souls, apathy, and disillusionment. By harnessing the power of a new world apophenia uses the internet as a medium and base to connect with each other, their fans, and to spread the word about their new songs and performances. The internet has been great to us, but one can suppose, just like Kurt Vonnegut, that there are "so many people in the same device." Technology allowed the meeting of similar drifting souls hanging on hoping for a way out... Making the music the way out... Meeting each other allowed us to feel a strong chemical reaction between the mix and display of creativity and talent despite race, ethnicity, and creed. We gravitated towards the opportunity to make a musical connection radiate vivid new energies... We've been through the storm and were waiting for the fire is what we tell ourselves. We are now doing summer gigs trying to build a fan base and revenue to fund our music and get signed in the process to launch this tale into a broader audience. People deserve this... They need to see this story to remind them that we are all the same ultimately, especially in a time like this... Your pocketbooks and religious convictions mean nothing... This story is so much New York as it is a new state of mind and an urban existential motif for a generation without a vision...
