Sunken Melody is a Grand Rapids based Ambient project from Steve Leaf. As Aaron Burr says to Alexander Hamilton in the worldwide phenomenon musical, Hamilton, ‘talk less, smile more’ Steve applies a similar philosophy to the guitar; ‘shred less, listen more’. That’s the impetus for his new ambient project entitled ‘Sunken Melody’, sparse compositions of drum machine, synthesizer, vocal, and guitar to weave a sound that makes you think of a dream you just can’t quite remember or as Steve likes to say ‘music that’s good to nap to.’
“He’s like if you bolted a guitar to a Swiss Army knife. But also he’s American, not Swiss” says one close acquaintance.
Music starts just after 8.
