JOE SASSO

"Porcelain Berry is one of Portland-based sound artist Joe Sasso’s (he/they) many noms de guerre. His work in this context could fairly be called “ambient” or “drone” but those genre tags risk downplaying the sonic density of these recordings. Walking a fine line between reverence and irreverence for process and materials alike, Joe’s pieces conjure worlds of glimmering, uncertain beauty to inhabit for a little while. Sustained listening sessions function like a Calvino novel for the ears - when you’re done you know something has changed within you even if you’re not quite sure what." - Sam Seda
