BUILD

Build biography
BUILD is a Brooklyn-based instrumental band consisting of Matt McBane, violin/compositions; Andrea Lee, cello; Michael Cassedy, piano; Ben Campbell, bass; and Adam D. Gold, drums. Both in its make-up and music, Build is fundamentally a hybrid group. Since forming in December 2006, it has developed a body of work and a performance style that draw on (to name few) minimalist chamber music, instrumental rock, modal jazz, American fiddle music, experimentalism, and film music, reflecting McBane?s interests as a composer and the backgrounds of the band members.

Build released its self-titled debut album in the summer of 2008, and "Place", its second album, in 2011. "Place" consists of 9 new tracks that build upon the language of the self-titled first Build album. It is an expansive hour-long album whose tracks work both individually and collectively to create a cohesive dramatic arc across the entire album.Place uses a more sophisticated production that heightens the sound of the live band, brings out the core feeling of the individual tracks and creates at times a more tactile, more orchestral or more aggressive sound through the layering of tracks, processing of sounds, placement of mics, etc.
