Hypnotic, analog jams, straight out of Inglewood.
More clues come from the music Reyes-Whittaker releases on his eponymous record label, where he explores electro, house and ambient, all of which fall under of the umbrella of "technoindigenous studies," a genre he invented and with which he seeks to unite ancestral traditions with modern technology. There's a lot to dig into here, but what's clear across GB's discography is a fluency with analog synthesis and, as one of his labels, Leaving Records, puts it, "vintage hardware's MIDI processes." On a surface level, he's interested in the communication between various machines. Zooming out, he addresses an increasingly fractured America, saying "May music help dissolve the boundaries between us." GB recently visited RA's LA offices at NeueHouse, where he performed a few effortless takes of "Invitation."
