Methods Body

October 5 | 4:30PM
Decibel Sound & Drink | 11380 SE 21st Ave, Milwaukie, OR

John Niekrasz and Luke Wyland return to the Decibel Series with their signature grooves, detuned synths, and bespoke live samples.

Methods Body builds on the non-traditional tunings of Terry Riley, the experimental energy of Éliane Radigue and Silver Apples, and the refracted electronics of Aphex Twin to create a sonic language completely their own. Together, Wyland and Niekrasz have been pushing the bounds of rhythm and melody for more than a dozen years. They made their decibel series debut in November 2023 and we are thrilled to welcome them back to the “stage” in Milwaukie.
