Simulation (6)

Simulation is the electronic duo of Laura Callier (a.k.a. Gel Set) and Whitney Johnson (a.k.a. Matchess). Though Callier and Johnson met in Chicago, the project formed on a joint west coast tour of both of their solo acts. After experiencing acute shared hallucinations in a seemingly haunted motel in Montana and enduring a series of show cancelations, forest fires, and other freak incidents, the duo decided to scrap their respective solo sets and play music together for their subsequent shows on the road. Johnson currently lives in Chicago, and Callier relocated from Chicago to LA in 2017. As Gel Set, Callier has released LPs with Moniker Records and 2MR, while Johnson’s Matchess recordings have appeared on labels like Trouble In Mind Records and Monofonus Press.
