CUTTER // NASH is a collaboration between myself and Gemma Nash. Located somewhere between storytelling, ambient & industrial music, and experimental sound art, we create eerie and seductive soundscapes of electronic textures and organic found-sounds using DAWs, hacked controllers, synthesisers and our own voices as we attempt to capture and celebrate the voice’s unique, slippery qualities.
