Slabs of improvisation, mangled and materialized, None of This Is Implausible is the reconstructed hauntings of Wally Shoup, Greg Kelley, Casey Adams and Tom Scully. Composed spontaneously and freely in the Winter of 2020, their ecstatic sessions became shifting scaffolding for Dustin William's and Adams' post-production manipulations. The result is an exploration of space and tension, perceived and imaginary. Timbres crumble as instruments fold in upon themselves, rooms expand and contract, emerging and disappearing. None of This Is Implausible scrapes at the walls of reality, expanding the potential of the quartet's live collaborations.
Wally Shoup is a compelling and passionate saxophonist and veteran free improvisor, having been involved in playing and organizing since 1974. He is among a handful of Americans who have devoted themselves exclusively to the practice of free improvisation.
Greg Kelley has performed throughout the Americas, Europe and Japan at numerous festivals, clubs, living rooms, outdoors, in a bank and once on a vibrating floor. He has collaborated with a number of musicians globally performing experimental music, free jazz and noise, appearing on over 100 recordings in the process.
Casey Adams is an explorer of sounds and structures, as a drummer, builder and creator of electro-acoustic noise.
Tom Scully is a Seattle based guitarist, improviser, and music teacher. His primary project is improvised-noise rock band, CSTMR.
