about
Healamonster & Tarsier are a Brooklyn production duo (Burgess Tomlinson and Rona Rapadas) who combine elements of ambient pop with experimental electronics and acoustic psychedelia. They specialize in moody, textural, sprawling, unconscious music pulled from cellos, acoustic guitars, dolphin conversations, programmed beats, magic mountains and thunderstorms. Harmonious and haunting he/she vocals ride alongside elastic, mostly midtempo, beats, though at times instrumental tracks can peddle up and over 140 bpm. Their current EP, The heart of a blue whale is the size of a small car, was co-produced with Mitch Osias, a New York film/tv soundtrack composer whom they first met at Brooklyn venue, Southpaw, while opening for The Sneaker Pimps. The six-track mini album continues along the similar storyboard of their debut EP, 00:00:01 (One Second), and is chock full of atmospheric arrangements, subterranean cellos, abstract synths, broken guitar fuzz, programmed percussion, and crystalline vocal harmonies. Healamonster & Tarsier have released tracks on independent record compilations from San Francisco and New York, including the abstract trip hop-focused, Live At The Complex Compilations I, II & III (Entartete Kunst), All That Glitters Isn't Platinum Volume 1 (Amoeba/Hip Hop Slam), Are Friends Electric (Seizmic Records NY), Bread & Roses (Entartete Kunst), Amoeba Music Compilation Volume IV (Amoeba/Hip Hop Slam). They recently completed a remix of "Inch Inch" from Neotropic's W
