about
The Hole Punch Generation are Patrick Balthrop (Vocals, Guitar, Synth), Caleb Epps (Bass, Synth, Live Video), and Adam Sturtevant (Drums). The group has been together for five years having formed in Boston, USA. Our music always begins with song: words set to music. After a song is written, we begin to explore production in the studio. This aspect of our work is lengthy. Alternate guitar tunings passed through SuperCollider, Max/MSP, and Reaktor patches. Analog synthesizer patches made and printed. Game Boy sound chips hacked for textures we couldn’t find anywhere else. Toy pianos bought and broken as we beat out melodies. Strings arranged then re-arranged. Field recordings and sound designs chopped up live using Monomes. Bass lines passed through fuzz pedals. All set to improvised drum takes played live in the studio. One strict rule we adhere to: If we can’t do it live, we don’t do it in the studio. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
