WHOMST?

Veronica “Vern” Avola is a composer, multimedia artist, instructor and champion of friendship, born in Italy and based in Portland, Oregon. They founded EMS Records.

Avola’s solo sound works uses deep electronic sounds to geomap the hidden layers that also come with a given “present moment”; from the guttural subterranean or the hallways of the earthly punk and DIY culture to consensual abduction and flight. Avola’s 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 man’s algorithm.

Avola performs this work internationally and has released several albums on Sige Recordings, An Out Recordings, 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.

When It Reigns It Poors Vol. XV - Futile Feudal Food Aisle (EMS-08)
"As the music progresses, the ambiguity of the title's wordplay manifests in the sound; the opening track slurs electronic grumble into a broken galloping pummel, though by the time it nears the end with "New Whirled Odor Pt. 6" the industrial clangour has softened into a monstrous growl, adding a wretched but satisfying layer of gore."
