Take a multi-instrumentalist Irish singer and song writer [Seamus Kerley] that comes from an acoustic rock upbringing, take a multi-faceted Pakistani American guitarist [Nadeem Ahmed] that comes from the depths of 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 play strings and cello and has been influenced by jazz, metal, and funk and an African American drummer prodigy [Charles "Trey" Norris] , whom has been playing for nearly 13 years of his life marking in 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.. Seamus Kerley has upbeat charisma to spare and the intensity and musicianship of the members of apophenia fires away strongly every show. If you were looking for something a bit polished apophenia disappoints with dissidence.

Technology places a dream like theme into our music...In this vast country we live in, four people all feeling a sense of alienation, isolation, and asphyxiation living in condensed compacted towns where the aimless souls do "the drifters dance" and prance about beneath the street lights had a vision... We saw a hope past the muddy polluted skies above our homes & past our tunnel driven life styles and beyond the perimeters of a social smog that sings lullabies for those who weep... We harnessed the power of the new world. The internet has been great to us, but I suppose "we are all prisoners in the same device" to refer to Vonnegut... We used the internet as a medium and base to connect. Technology allowed the meeting of similar drifting souls hanging on hoping for a way out... Making the music was the way out... Meeting each other allowed us to feel a strong chemical reaction between the mix and display of creativity and talent at hand dispite race, ethnicity, and creed.

We gravitated towards the opportunity to make a musical connection radiate vivid new energies... Weve 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 order and urban existential motif for a generation without a vision that stands on it's own.....
