302 Acid has been in a constant state of evolution since its inception, late in 2001. There is a conscious effort to utilize the current digital technologies while maintaining an equal balance of real-time analog creation. The results of this endeavor are an intense live multimedia experience and the debut e.p. Ailanthus Altissima, available on Hackshop Records.
In keeping with their independent roots, the Washington D.C. based quartet chooses to record and mix almost all of the music themselves, mirroring the same techniques used when performing live. For Ailanthus Altissima, arrangements are stripped down to raw drum and bass grooves, accompanied and punctuated by digital found-sound bursts and ambient layers, and often mutated through real-time processing until the line between these core elements is unrecognizable. Visual information is layered into a collage which breathes and pulsates, entwined around the musical arrangements.
In spite of a growing schedule of live performances, 302 Acid is already working on projects which include new tunes for a series of mixes on vinyl, as well as a compilation of live video and audio from various performances for a future DVD.
