Who?
Veronica โVernโ Avola is a composer and multimedia artist born in Italy and based in Portland, Oregon. They founded EMS Records.
Avolaโs solo sound works uses deep electronic sounds to geomap the hidden layers that also come with a given โpresent momentโ; from the guttural subterranean or the hallways of the earthly punk and DIY culture to consensual abduction and flight. Avolaโs compositions hold space for these physical stretches that become emblems of safety when society faces a truth in zero control within a political predestination. In this process Avola brings an ability back to the listener to think and exist outside of manโs algorithm.
Avola performs this work internationally and has released several albums on Sige Recordings, An Out Recordings, Sleeping Giant Glossolalia, Accident Prone Records, and Nadine Records. Avola also performs solo as EMS and has other collaborative works with Daniel Menche (Bear Spray), Ian Gorman Weiland (Elrond), Vo Vo (Vo + Avola) and Dead (Castlemaine, Australia). They also have a bi-weekly radio show on UK based Repeater Radio.

Dead Mono Sessions #3

It was Fred Cole's and he never had a chance to get the deck up and running. Dead Mono is a tip of the cap to Dead Moon.
