Deneir

A methodical composer and student of sound, Victor Ribadeneira creates

uncompromising music that occupies a singular sonic landscape.

Positioned at the axis of disparate underground movements Ribadeneira

has produced starkly original music with a number of iconoclastic

jazz, electronic, hip-hop and modern classical musicians. Nowhen, his

newest release under the shortened surname Deneir, includes

collaborations with Weird Weeds drummer/vocalist Nick Hennies and

Asthmatic Kitty recording artist Chris Schlarb. The seven track EP

also features a rare remix from legendary Warp Record duo, Autechre.



In 2010, Canadian visual artist Jonathan Dueck released his 16mm DVD

project which featured hand-painted film shorts paired with the music

of Deneir, I Heart Lung, Sub Pop recording artist Chad VanGaalen, and

Anticon artist Son Lux. After remixing a track for San Francisco

electronic rock band Ellul in 2006, the band recently returned the

favor by covering Deneir's track Wordless Understanding on their

Debris EP. The album subsequently went on to raise over $3,500 for the

people of Haiti.



Beginning in 2004 Ribadeneira began working extensively with guitarist

and composer Chris Schlarb. Their first release on the Sounds Are

Active label, flowers (eating) words, featured stochastic and elegiac

styles in bright contrast. Ribadeneira later contributed to Schlarb's

landmark album, Twilight & Ghost Stories.



Deneir's music was presented alongside Milton Babbit at the Pomona College's

13th Annual Ussachevsky Memorial Festival of Electronic Music.
