Gate

Gate is a solo alias of Michael Morley, the New Zealand guitarist and visual artist who plays in The Dead C with Bruce Russell and Robbie Yeats. Morley started Gate in 1989 with cassettes on his own Precious Metal label. Gate began with noisy, song-like pieces and moved towards free-form work often built on long drones, sometimes as a solo act and sometimes with a group gathered around Morley. Gate records appeared on Twisted Village (Lounge, 1993), Majora (Amerika, 1993), Siltbreeze, Table of the Elements and IMD (Golden, 1996).
