Arty, expansive dance music with a healthy dose of 90s influence.
24-year-old weirdo performance artist Travis Egedy, a.k.a. Pictureplane, obsesses over the cosmos, 90s house music, collective consciousness, and mind-altering chemicals you've never heard of. Much like his interests, Pictureplane's music is strange and boundless and totally righteous. Egedy has cut his teeth on raging tours with HEALTH, a collab with Beirut's Zach Condon and killer remixes for Crystal Castles, HEALTH, and Thieves Like Us. Grimy synths, broken beats, and bucolic vocals collide somewhere between early 90s house music and the gnarly soundscapes of Black Dice to forge a sound that's wholly unique and endlessly exciting. It's exceedlingly rare to find dance music that transcends the cold and robotic, but Pictureplane does just that. The music feels at once personal and cosmically expansive.

Chris Haberman Bio | Scott Chase Bio

"I met Scott earlier this year when he moved into our building. He was a big, friendly, kinda hairy guy hailing from a place I mock on a regular basis: The Couv (Vancouver, Washington). We talked and laughed and drank and became friends, although he was from Vantucky. Then he lost his laboring warehouse job. We became better friends and his sharp tongue and obvious intellect and charisma won me over…

This series is based upon Scott's choice of characters, and his development as a new artist. I am proud to have been his mentor in this self-discovery and I am always amazed at his commitment and courage to try this out so quickly. He doesn't use a grid to make the characters, everything is done by hand from a photograph. Our responses to these photos were not shared with each other until this show. This is our examination of icons that reflect the bright and shadowy parts of life — The Good, The Bad and The Ugly."
