JOB
MCRCSMS
Hailing from Appalachia, mcrcsms is the solo project of Kendall Furrow, formed in the late 2000s after years of playing keys in local bands. The music of mcrcsms initially drew heavily from the early 2010s LA beat scene and featured gliding synths, sharp bass, and stuttering rhythms. Throughout the course of some 4 full lengths, 11 EPs, a split with fwawn, and a handful of singles on Soundcloud, mcrcsms has gradually moved more into the realm of ambient house and techno in recent years. Despite these stylistic shifts, there remains a throughline in all of Kendall's work: the desire to explore hypnotic, evolving patterns. This central theme has resulted in frequent long-form arrangements that owe as much to the great minimalists as they do modern beatmakers.In 2014, mcrcsms appeared on Fluorescent Presents: The Terrible Twos, a compilation celebrating the second year of operations by Tallahassee-based Fluorescent Records. In 2018, Kendall collaborated with Lynda Boström to provide the soundtrack for MORPHO: Expectations and Mutations, an installation described by Lynda as exploring "experiences of chronic pain, physical exhaustion, heartbreak, struggling with conventions," and "the journey to transmute these limitations and failures into positive outcomes."

ZOOANZOO
Heralded as "one of the state’s most imaginative musicians" by RVA Magazine, Zooanzoo is the defunct persona of Zoo—aka Zach Williams—a prolific audio engineer, visual artist/animator, and game dev based in Harrisonburg, VA. Formed (and transformed) throughout the early 2010s, Zooanaoo explored a number of styles and featured a rotating cast of collaborators before veering into the world of electronic music. Known for his soulful croon, off-kilter beats, and explosive freeform experimentation, Zoo never forsook his roots in live, communal musicmaking, and stood as a testament to Rocktown's DIY spirit.Towards the end of 2020, Zach announced his shift to a new alias, Onokio, and founded Buffer Zone as a home for future works. Following Onokio's 2021 debut, Entity Upload Entry, Zach has released more than a dozen solo albums, EPs, and singles, and in 2023 unveiled echo_soft_sector_0, a captivating yet brief exploration sim that signaled the birth of EchoSoft.
