Grouper is the solo project of musician and artist Liz Harris. After releasing material independently beginning in 2005, Harris released the critically acclaimed ''Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill'' (2008), followed by four more records, including a two-part concept album, ''A I A''. Her tenth studio album, ''Ruins'', was released on October 31, 2014. Harris' music, described as "ethereal" and "hazy," often consists of guitar layered with vocals and tape loops. She has collaborated with a number of other artists, including Xiu Xiu, Tiny Vipers, Lawrence English, and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. She resides on the Oregon coast. ==History== Harris was born in Northern California and grew up around the San Francisco Bay area and in Oregon. Harris’ first album was 2005’s ''Grouper'', a self-released full-length CD-R, followed later that year by ''Way Their Crept'' on Free Porcupine (re-released in 2007 on Type Records). In 2006 she released a single (''He Knows''), one album, called ''Wide'', and a collaboration with Xiu Xiu entitled ''Creepshow''. Harris made available new material steadily through the years, and continued to collaborate with various artists such as Roy Montgomery and Xela. Early in 2012, Grouper performed ''Violet Replacement'' in the UK and Europe, a pair of longform tape collage pieces which originally took shape for commissioned performances in New York and Berkeley. At Berlin's Club Transmediale festival in early February of 2012 Harris premiered a new work called ''Circular Veil'' in collaboration with Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, which consisted of seven hours of music, designed to mimic one full sleep cycle.〔 In 2013, Harris released a compilation album, ''The Man Who Died in His Boat'', consisting of outtakes from the previous several years. Grouper's newest studio album, titled ''Ruins'', was released on October 31, 2014. The majority of the album was recorded in Aljezur, Portugal in 2011, while Harris was on a residency set up by Galeria Zé dos Bois.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grouper (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
