A collage of brutal, industrial sound, layered over the deep pop visuals of street art, portraiture, and landscape. Reminiscent of the musique concrète from the 1950’s, particularly Karlheinz Stockhausen's Gesang der Jünglinge, and the work of Philip Glass, Kristina Kubsich, Carla Scaletti, and Brian Eno. Patrick di Santo, known as the media instrumentalist 9 was diagnosed with ​Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy​ in 2012 after sustaining a head injury. He participates in research at the University of Kansas studying the effects of frequency and alternative head injury protocol. 9 was born at PAFB USSAC (Plattsburgh Air Force Base United States Strategic Air Command) and spent most of his early years traveling North America, giving him an extensive foundation of experiences. He began writing at age 10, experimenting with multiple frequencies and platforms of media while always returning to songwriting media. Most known for minimalism, lateral thinking, and pushing the boundaries of content and the space it is viewed within. Disanto is considered a virtuoso of frequency, space, and media -CMJ.
