About
Twerk the alias of Shawn Hatfield, is closely associated with machine inclination, his concepts becoming simulations, and the music itself dealing with the paradigm of recontextualising existing sounds, in a complex and dynamic environment, utilising custom designed software and field recording devices. His passages seek to explore the outer fringes of composition and form. His albums, live performances, and museum installations, include a dynamic mixture of microscopic electronic art, algorithmic-based compositional techniques, and each showcase Twerk’s use of his custom designed software. He is also the lead mastering engineer at AudibleOddities in Oakland, California, USA.
