Catskill, NY

Wrekmeister Harmonies, the duo of JR Robinson and Esther Shaw, are sonic shape shifters with expansive ideas, and a distinctly dark bent. Inspired by artists such as Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham and Lou Reed, Wrekmeister approaches each album as a new sonic adventure. Formed as an art collective by Robinson, Wrekmeister created hypnagogic installation works, film soundtracks and music for guitar and spatial orchestral performances. Collaborations with diverse artists for both recording and unique performances have included Ryley Walker, Cooper Crain, The Body, Mary Lattimore, Olivia Block, Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu) and Thor Harris (Swans).
