"NNA Tapes is thrilled to present brand new music from percussionist and composer Booker Stardrum. Over the past decade, the Los Angeles and New York-based musician has built a language of sounds as a solo artist, frequent collaborator, and improviser. 'CRATER' is the artist's third full-length album on NNA, beginning with 2015""s 'Dance And' cassette, and followed up by the 2018 limited edition vinyl release 'Temporary etc.' The worlds of electronic music and free jazz firmly root Stardrum's unique musical syntax; as 'CRATER' unfolds, a torrent of microscopic, staccato musical gestures collide and coalesce into a singular whole, while jagged and angular sounds coexist harmoniously with their smooth, polished counterparts, creating an auditory balance and swaying symmetry.
