TERRA NINE
Terra Nine, aka Michael Westcot, is the creative force behind this unique act from New Zealand, combining live electric viola with lush organic synths and funky electronic beats to produce a distinctly organic and free form sound. His music features an aural palette ranging from psychedelic ambient to chilled out trance and breaks with uplifting emotional content that moves the heart as well as the feet.
Michael is hardly your typical digital artist - his music features a unique synergy of distinctly analog bowed and plucked organic strings - often mangled into mind bending psychedelic sounds and poured in real time over a bottom end of organic beats and fat basslines.
Terra Nine’s releases over the past decade have included three albums and a number of EPs, as well as tracks on myriad compilations, all featuring his unique mixture of live organic lushness.
Terra Nine’s music has also included remixes by and for numerous international artists - including dub maestro OTT, Astropilot, Suduaya, Kick Bong, Unknown Reality, Pete Ardron, Cloower Wooma, AKD and many more.
Over the past 10 years, Terra Nine has toured extensively, performing dynamic live shows at festival events worldwide. More recently, VJ Intelliki has joined Terra Nine, adding fantastic imagery to form the perfect synergistic visual accompaniment to the music.
Terra Nine’s latest EP, ‘Heart of the Matter’ (Iboga Records) - features 5 exceptional new tunes with psychedelic downtempo and dub / breaks flavours - providing a journey into new musical territory - glitchy, yet melodic.
