Bio
Experimental outing of Sacramento-based guitarist Blake William. The medium for the music often changes, as do the band members. Its not "random guests" so much as Blake building a roster of friends that he works well with, and calling them as he has a need for them. The music has been known to fall anywhere from delicate ambient music to abrasive noise-rock.
The majority of live performances are played with a decaying tape loop system. The artist(s) build a pillar of sound that gradually morphs from gentle to paranoid. In special cases, the tape machines are disregarded for freeform improvisation.
So far, Superzapper Recharge has played both noise and jazz showcases around Sacramento, rock shows, Sacramento Sound Art Festival, released an EP of looped music titled "1/8" and a collaborative record with Nullwerk. We've meditated some audiences and deafened others.
***
Update: all solo performances of Blake William are now being done under my own name. I'm not fond of using a band name when a band doesn't exist. The solo ambient pieces recorded are still represented through this profile however, and performance dates will be on the calendar.

If you want to book Blake William/Superzapper Recharge, I'll seriously play ANYWHERE within 100 miles. I'll play in your living room if there'll be at least 8 people.

Oakland based ambient artist Nullwerk and I have recorded a collaborative untitled release. The album is one 39 minute long track in 2 movements, the first half having a foundation set by one of my tape loops, the second half having a foundation set by one of Nullwerk's soundscapes.
