American composer Jeff Carey's music is a blend of fixed-media composition and electro-instrumentalism -- the music of the visceral, ecstatic, and electric moment. His inventions of fluid sound are in an ever changing state: a mobile moves in the wind, changes shape, and is in constant renewal. Listeners are invited to explore an abstract sonic universe and engage in a world inspired by fictional cosmology, code breaking, and mathematical conundrums.


"This is genre-defying stuff that rides roughshod over Improv purism and compositional dogma. To the warring factions of the avant-garde: Office-R(6) have drawn up a blueprint for peace."
-- Keith Moline, The Wire, on OfficeR-(6)'s CD 'Mundane Occurences and Presentations'
"...this is musique concrete that has torn away from its formal, academic origins. Deconstruction and reassembly in nasty extremis."
-- David Stubbs, The Wire, on SKIF++'s CD 'SK++[01,02,03,04,00]'
"Illuminating"
-- The Wire on USA/USB performance of 'Machine Gun Etiquette' at NuMusic 2005
