about

"MACRODOSE" marks Bill Harris's third solo record, following "Blinking Glue" (2022) and "ONOMAT" (2021). Harris's unique approach to solo drumming combines acoustic and electronic elements, utilizing feedback and timbral manipulation to create a distinctive auditory experience. Where Blinking Glue was a single-take, live performance which represented a snapshot of his live solo set, MACRODOSE returns to a similar format of ONOMAT, encapsulating shorter sonic spaces in a number of different tracks, and using studio techniques as part of the creative process.

The sonic landscapes created between his three solo records perfectly illustrates the ever-changing creative trajectory of his process as Harris develops his unique sound and solo repertoire. Both in sound, production, and technique, MACRODOSE sees an even deeper exploration and study of Harris's dedication to combining acoustically-sourced electronic sounds, and the unique ability of a drum's capacity to generate, manipulate, and interact with feedback in a musical way.
