Haptic

Haptic is an experimental group formed in Chicago in spring 2005 by Steven Hess, Joseph Clayton Mills and Adam Sonderberg. The trio works between composed and improvised music, ranging from spare minimalism to dense noise, and presents its work as concerts, installations, soundtracks and site-specific performances. Its recordings often bring in guest players such as Olivia Block. In its early years Haptic added a different fourth musician at each concert. The debut LP The Medium featured Tony Buck and Olivia Block, followed by Scilens (2011) and Abeyance (2014).
