Gangi is American duo Matt Gangi and Eric Chramosta.
Gangi began in 2007 as the solo project of Brooklyn musician Matt Gangi. He self-released debut recording A on the Office of Analogue and Digital (OOAAD) (later released on vinyl by White Noise).
Gangi relocated to California after several national tours with Lyle Nesse (who is now teaching English in inner-city Baltimore) and started touring and recording with his old friend, drummer, multi- instrumentalist and fellow experimentalist, Eric Chramosta. Together they have continued in a DIY no-wave vein and self-produced, engineered, and recorded hundreds of recordings.
The first collection of these is entitled gesture is. The album was recorded at the OOAAD in Glendale, California. Since recording A, Matt Gangi started building and modding analogue equipment for the OOAAD... circuit bending, redesigning, building circuits, and combing dried-out-lawn garage / estate sales looking for old analogue electronics to fix and repurpose components from...The duo fixed up found mixers, compressors, a 1/2" tape machine (among building other oscillators and equipment)... which they use for sounds on gesture is and their current live show.
Matt Gangi and Eric Chramosta drag in a thousand genre sources that can shift without notice within the same song, then they rain it down with ambient/ musique concrète effects atop decidedly psychedelic broadcasts and an otherwise ethereal big-beat pop, appropriating themselves and other transmissions with samplers. As GANGI, the duo devises the most concrete links yet between kraut-rock and psych of the 60's and 70's (Neu, Faust / Joseph Byrd's United States of America), Roxy Music/ENO, early Los Angeles underground art rock of the 80's (Monitor), and from Creation Record's Medicine and My Bloody Valentine to Slint, The Bomb Squad-produced hip- hop, through the information bomb, combining some of these disparate influences into new genres of the current space-time.
