About Yonatan Gat (of Monotonix)

Yonatan Gat is a guitarist and composer based in New York, leading a band under his name. His work was featured in the New York Times, Pitchfork, Vice, The New Yorker, and People Magazine.

He was chosen "Best Guitarist in New York" by the Village Voice in 2013. His composition method is beyond classification, championing wild, stream-of-consiousness improvisation.

He first came to prominence in 2006 as guitarist and founder of Monotonix, which was hailed by SPIN as "the most exciting live band in rock'n'roll." In the last ten years, Gat played 1,500 concerts in 50 countries and 5 continents, touring with bands as diverse as Pavement, Faith No More, Of Montreal and Thee Oh Sees. His relentless world travel influenced his border-shattering work.

His current trio, featuring Sergio Sayeg's pulsating bass and Gal Lazer's hyperreal drums, was praised by SPIN as "unlike anything you have seen before, cults have been formed over less", while the New York Times lauded a "lilt and an invitation in it" adding "they were playing for themselves and they were playing for you, but they weren't playing for any static definition of a concert."

About Eternal Tapestry

Eternal Tapestry started in the fall of 2005, conceived after original members Nick Bindeman and Dewey Mahood discovered their mutual love of Sonny Sharrock and Neu! It was these two vastly different artists who helped the band's sound take shape, free improvised guitar with structured rhythms and lots of layered ambient sound. They asked a few friends to join them in the band and so it began. Nick's younger brother Jed moved to Portland, Oregon in the summer of 2006 and joined shortly afterwards. At this time both Nick and Jed were playing drums as part of a six piece band, making very chaotic and dark psychedelic music. A few members came and went around this time, leaving the core trio of Nick, Dewey and Jed to continue on their own. Most of the limited edition LPs released to date document this trio. In 2009 Ryan Carlile joined the band on saxophone and synth, and just in the last year Krag Likins joined as bassist, completing the current line up. The members of Eternal Tapestry are extremely active in the experimental underground. Nick explores minimal synth music as Tunnels, with an album to come on Troubleman Unlimited in 2011. In addition Nick plays guitar in the psychedelic/improv group Jackie-O Motherfucker. Dewey has recorded solo bliss out music as Plankton Wat since 2002, and explores the outer realms of dub as Edibles. Jed has played in the bi-coastal drone/rock band Heavy Winged since 2004 and has released many records with the band over the years, with the latest being a release on Type Records. He also joined Jackie-O Motherfucker as their drummer at the beginning of 2010, and plays in the minimalist/techno project Operative. Ryan plays as one half of the electronic/drone duo Cloaks. Jed and Dewey also collaborate with Barn Owl as the group Garden Sound, whose debut album came out this fall on the Digitalis label.
