Split Phase

Band,
Musician of Electronic and Jazz

Split Phase was a live electronic duo consisting of Carl 'transient' Martin on keys and live electronics and Mike McIntosh on acoustic/electric drums and samples. Experimenting within the musical spectrum and refusing to be pigeon-holed into genre specifics, they tapped an eclectic mix of styles to weave their sonic tapestries. With an arsenal of synths, guitars, drums, loopers, effects, and computers Mike and Carl created a live sound that is usually reserved for produced music. Blending improvisation and structure, the duo could effortlessly switch between diverse styles such as House, Drum and Bass, Downtempo, Jazz, Jams, and everything in between. From the beginning Split Phase was a constantly evolving force adapting a do it yourself mentality in and out of the studio, from music production, recording and mastering all of the tracks in house. Combined with the live lighting and visual projections of Nate VanSlyke it made for a must see live audio/visual experience.
