Ouest is a trio formed in 2004 to establish large bodies of static music. Ouest works slowly and patiently to build a sound field that is the product of activation of objects and amplification, not the deliberate interaction of players or instruments. Howard Stelzer plays in many live situations and records solo compositions, usually involving the manipulation of cassette tapes. He is the sole proprietor of Intransitive Recordings. Jay Sullivan makes music with amplified turntables, microphones, field recordings and occasionally a harmonium, and runs the We Break More label. Jay and Howard perform and record together as the band Skeletons Out. Brendan Murray’s solo work is based on long-form electronic music compositions, in addition to many types of collaboration. He also plays drums and electric guitar.
