Graham Marlowe (a.k.a., Lakewaves)

Lakewaves is a trippy instrumental exploration led by Madison keyboardist Graham Marlowe. Known for his "synthesizer graffiti," Marlowe’s solo sets are hypnotic, sonic adventures that range from blissed-out ambient textures to complex, groove-based "astrometric" space music. Drawing on a background in classical, avant-garde, and film scoring, he uses a massive library of found sounds and bargain-bin treasures to build spontaneous, cinematic soundscapes. Whether he’s playing a gallery or a sidewalk, Lakewaves treats the room as a blank canvas for psychedelic experimentation.
