Cøntact

Contact is a collaboration between Pittsburgh-based drummer and synthesizer player A.E. Paterra (Zombi, Majeure) and British film composer/new age artist Paul Lawler. As with many of Paterra's other ventures, Contact blends racing synthesizers, muscular drumming, and triumphant guitars, constructing adventurous soundscapes reminiscent of vintage prog rock and action movie soundtracks. Signed to Temporary Residence, the duo debuted in 2014 with the mini-album First Contact, followed in 2016 by the full-length Zero Moment. ~ Paul Simpson
