entropic advance was founded in 1998 by bios+a+ic and noise poet nobody in Seattle, Washington, u.s. and has evolved into an unbrella organization for numerous innovative electronic and avant-guard sound artists.

Lush, haunting trumpet/vocals, and warped slide guitar textures, blend seamlessly with heavily manipulated electronic beats, dark pulsating drones and glitches, and thick layers of delicious ear candy. The music is heavy euro-inspired electronics and ethereal noise improvisations, an artistic hybrid of clicks, thumps, rhythms, and tones, with space for improvisation, always lucid and fresh for their live listeners. Each cd release explores different territiory incorporating elements of ambient, industrial, noise, acid jazz, minimalism, IDM, down-tempo, etc. and is a sonic documentation of the current live/ studio collaborations of that time and place.

Always seeking new venues and presentations, ea has played raves, clubs, museums, galleries, warehouses, and outdoor festivals, and turns each performance into a unique event, which will often include video projections (lowREZ, The Now device, Spaceboat tv.), dancers (belly, fire, modern) and guest musicians/events (Dronerama, Seattle Noise Festival, cd release parties). With 10+ full-length cd releases, entropic advance has influenced thousands of people and all members continue to produce solo and collaboratory works. It seems that this is only the first chapter of what has already proven to be a legendary group of amazing sound artists.
