silas produces, sings, uses the theremin, and explores alternative tuning systems and acoustics towards creating dance music and sonic situations.
as a thereminist, si often deviates from tradition in search of new uses for the old technology, using it to morph the sound of synths and live instruments or to seek out the bass tone that will shake the walls hardest.
under ideal circumstances, silas performs live with saxophonist erinn buhyoff and percussionist isaac silber.
si also collaborates with dj miss parker and plays in liam benzvi's splash band. silas is based in new york city.
