WALTER GROSS

Master of deconstruction and reappropriation, Walter Gross’ no-rules approach to freak-noise experimentation has led to collaborations with artists such as K-the-I???, Skrapez (Tenshun & Psychopop) and Sole (Anticon co-founder, Fake Four Inc) as well as 2 European/UK tours. Nowadays, oozing from the cracks of his claustrophobic sound lab, Walter Gross bleeds percussive mayhem and grungy vocals; his constant reinvention informed by a chequered history of debilitating aural impairment, cinemania, and relentless ambition. Gross presents a slice of Baltimore’s psych scene through a mosaic of work that is systematically re-constructed, broken down and reassembled with an affronting intensity that will bend your ears and your mind. Gross has shared the stage with the likes of Sole, K-the-i???, Open Mike Eagle, Danny Brown, Spoek Mathambo, Awesome Tapes From Africa, Moodie Black, Skrapez, These Are Powers to name a few…
