Jeff Carney

Experimental electronic/progressive space rock artist working almost exclusively with analog during the height of the digital era (mid '80s to early '90s). Having studied bass guitar and a student of legendary jazz guitarist Bill Tapia, Carney played in adventurous rock bands doing original material in high school, but by 1986 his friendship with Doug Walker (Alien Planetscapes) caused a rethink and a deeper interest in electronic music began. He worked in both solo and small ensemble settings, preferring to record live without overdubs. His works display influence from the '70s German electronic scene, as well as Richard Pinhas, Terry Riley (Carney’s cousin), Philip Glass and Tim Blake. In the late '90s, Carney returned as a singer/songwriter with a stripped down, sparse and often intimate sound; preferring to perform with acoustic piano or acoustic guitar. In 2000 he released the album Table For One. As of 2019, he is again active, focused primarily on reissues of his original albums but also mixing unreleased recordings.
