Calm White Noise

Calm White Noise blowing the audiences' mind at Drunken Unicorn.
Famous eclectic musician John Zorn once said, "It's a matter of keeping people on a spontaneous edge" and like Scatter Brain, Calm White Noise enjoys giving its audience an edgy, musical treat. The Atlanta based five-member electronic band experiments with different genres including sample electronic infused raga sounds from India, eerie, ambient tunes, and funk-influenced break beats backed by the lead singer Dylan Bank's droning vocals. Each song thrives on atmospherics, minimalism, and rich melodies while the lyrics remain cryptic and sung softly. 

While the band experiments heavily in creating new sounds, it's firmly rooted to the ground.  Calm White Noise challenges itself by making sure it's music is accessible by creating soothing melodies with pop hooks, keeping the rhythm steady, and danceable. 

The band started out as project in 2011 with a more guitar driven sound focused on vocal and melodic structures. Over time, the band shifted musically with more emphasis on using synthesizers and MIDI sequencers to create their unique sound. Needless to say the band remains proudly offbeat and focused on "trying to make music that is different".
