Astroturf Noise exists at the intersection of free improvisation, effects-heavy noise music, and American roots music. Since forming in 2017, the trio of Sam Day Harmet (mandolin/electronics), Sana Nagano (violin/effects), and Zach Swanson (upright bass) has carved out a distinctive sonic space. Here, American roots music coexists with electronics-spiked free improv, Downtown skronk, and manipulated found sounds.
