Bio:

Chad Oliveiri is a journalist living in Rochester, NY. A long-time self-taught guitarist, Chad began recording audio experiments to cassette while in high school. The advent of affordable laptop computing allowed him to realize many of his ideas in a much more time-efficient manner. Chad performs live every Saturday on the University of Rochester radio station WRUR 88.5 FM.

      Freak Animal
      Chad Oliveiri and Figure -The Complete Detachment CDR on Audiobot - A complete brain submission that detaches your head, captures faces and rewires them into an undefined human-hybrid. Like falling asleep under an alien radar-post and losing track of all earthly life around you while analog-synth fumes drag your lungs into the zone. Puzzle solving mode with no solutions. Both Oliveiri and Figure love drinking strange fluids and further exploring the mysteries of life. Packaged in full color fold-out covers by none other than Carlos Pitchphase, in an edition of only 65
      copies. File under = alienating upheaval.

      The Wire
      [Figure and Chad Oliveiri release on Entr'acte] This is gaudy, sensation-seeking music, never boring, but definitely overcooked in places. But what the hell, these guys sounds like they're having a ball... The duo manage to pull it all together on the closing track Euphoria, whose 15 minute span gives their ideas room to breath, and which will hopefully act as a blueprint for further experimentation in the future. - Keith Moline

      Vital Weekly
      [Figure and Chad Oliveiri release on Entr'acte] Figure is a name that appears in Vital Weekly since a long time, but sometimes it's spelled Brannon Hungness, Kill My Self On Monday, Oblivion Ensemble but strangely enough we never mentioned his work with Glenn Branca or Elliot Sharp. On 'Celest' he plays music with Chad Oliveiri, a journalist from Rochester, NY (where also Brannon lives), who also produces music. Together they did a whole bunch of improvisations, Chad on his laptop and Brannon on keyboards and effects and after that Brannon sat down in his bedroom studio to edit these recordings into this release. The input on those computers and keyboards is mostly electronical, but there are also real instruments to detect, like guitars and violins, all sampled. Stylistically this is not far away from the music Figure produces himself, dark and atmospheric slabs of sound, but the addition of Olivieri's computer adds a 'modern' component: crackles and glitches all set in loopmode to repeat them selves. That makes a rather odd marriage of ambient industrial and microsound, but it's one that much to my surprise works quite well. It adds an element of surprise to both microsound music and dark ambient, even when some of the pieces are bit long and unfocussed. - Frans de Waard
