The primary sound sources on all Saul Stokes recordings are several vintage-style analog modular synthesizers built by Stokes himself. But don't mistake this to mean Stokes is working in a retro or "classic E-music" style, because this is definitely not the case. Perhaps no artist in the ambient/experimental music scene possesses a sound as distinctive, fresh and modern.
Those who have seen Saul's much-acclaimed live performances in Philadelphia during the past year can attest to his challenging and dynamic sound. It's world music for the mid-21st century, way ahead of its time. Ambient atmospherics blend with riveting electronic experimentalism, guided by an artistic savvy and grace all too rare in this tech-oriented genre.
