WOW! Tessellators YEEEAAAH!
CARRY ON READING! HOTT!
Tessellators are Dan, Beare, Alex & Moh. They are based in London in the United Kingdom and are available to play anywhere in the world for a modest, negotiable fee (usually between £0 & £Beer).
Tessellators have some sort of plan. They are trying to release 3 EPs in one year (2007/2008). One detailing adventure, another concerning the sea, and one about the city.
Rather excitingly, 2 EPs have been completed thus far. The Red Admiral EP and the O! Mighty Sea EP (see Releases Page).
Tessellators release their music under a Creative Commons License You are free to download, share, remix & sample [not for profit] the mp3s.
Tessellators enjoy handmaking every CD cover so everyone is unique. We still like CDs and Vinyl you see.
The name 'Tessellators' could be a reference to how the individual shapes that each member creates fit together to make a larger, more complex pattern. Maybe this will be suggested in print at some point in the future. Similarly, 'Tessellators' could be a reference to how the band members have to efficiently organise their equipment into a confined storage space week after week. It is unlikely that this will ever be suggested in print. The naming process was long and involved a complex points system that was largely ineffective.
Dan plays the guitar & sings. Beare plays the bass, the guitar & sings. Alex plays the drums. Moh plays the keyboard, the guitar & sings. At some point in the future any member of the band might play something else, like the tambourine or the trumpet. Multi-tasking is good.
Tessellators love lots of music including Built to Spill, Captain Beefheart, Battles (especially live), The Band and Fugazi amongst many others.
[The four Tessellators were in the band 'the Hundred Handed' for several years. Sadly for all concerned, their singer announced that he would leave (amicably) in late-2006, which led to the creation of Tessellators after Dan, Beare, Alex & Moh resolved to start a new venture together.]
