about

With a hand and ear in a variety of artistic genres, shea M gauer and scott A peterson spend their minimal free time searching, capturing, processing, manipulating, producing, engineering, and designing sounds for all applications. Their main sonic output is the ongoing experimental project smgsap, which presents an even blend of electronic and analogue textures, using a variety of sources from field recordings, drones, musical and non-musical sounds as well as manipulated live audio and instruments. They have performed in and created sound and video installations for numerous settings over the course of their more than 10 years of working together.

Over the years they have performed and recorded as a trio along with glenn bach under the name 'qqq' (pronounced cues). This project has been an experiment in slow sound, in the quiet levels of sonic exploration.

In addition to performing and recording as smgsap, they have also hosted a monthly experimental multimedia series called “3rd Thurs” under the name Parabolic Productions. The series took place in Long Beach at {open}, a bookstore/gallery/performance space previously co-owned by gauer.

In 2010 they recorded a live webcast for the show "Ear Meal" produced by Alan Nakagawa & Mark Walsh. The set can be viewed here:

They have also both been members of FLOOD, the Long Beach based artist group that is responsible for producing the annual SoundWalk event, which just celebrated it's 10th and final year.

“we are aiming to create an experience much like a sweat lodge for the ears, a sauna of sound.”
