Evan O’Donnell is a musician, composer, writer, and sound artist from New York City, with a background in pop/rock, R&B, DIY and indie, lo-fi, garage punk, noise, and experimental music. O’Donnell has also been studying gamelan on and off for over a decade, including a yearlong Darmasiswa scholarship in Bali from 2015-16, and participation in American groups such as Gamelan Dharma Swara and Gamelan Sekar Jaya. Current projects include Ground Demons—an ongoing exploration of the subconscious borders of sound production, and the impacts of an animistic worldview on contemporary culture. Sekar DMN is an offshoot of this project, applying these ideas to the merging of metal, gamelan, field recordings, and noise.
