Ctephin

Ctephin is a found-sound/ambient/noise group from Oklahoma. They were formed in 2003 by the core family group of StF, Aedria , And Kaylan Bright. Their music is influenced by the sounds of their surroundings and the pure amount of energy that their core puts out. StF spent most of his youth in the Oakland, CA experimental noise scene working with the groups A Limbic System and the Non-Whites. An extremely prolific band, Ctephin has released over 30 albums and collaborated with a number of artists including Big City Orchestra, Rabbit Girls, GX Jupitter-Larsen, The Gray Field Recordings, Kenji Siratori, and Ghoul Detail. Aedria was a featured artist on the Ubuibi compilation Women Take Back the Noise which also featured other great artists such as Cosey Fanni Tutti and Nina Pixie.

MAASEH (gnosis), released in 2006, is a transcendental blending of rich layers of sound conceptually representing the seven "deities" of Kabalistic Gnosticism.

"Ctephin is above all a state of trance, as primeval and powerful as any shaman could conjure. If you walk with careful steps, you will see the most wonderful sights." -Foxy Digitalis

"...one of the most desirable projects for me at present times...their compositions are well layered, the sound continuatiuon is perfect, the flow conquers the dominion of time..." - Introspect

"This is a recording for the weird hours of the day, and for the even weirder hours of the night, when the mind loses its connection to the material plane, and starts wandering freely within itself, oddly yet perfectly focusing to what is crucial ..." - Heathen Harvest

"A feedback cacophony liquefies in 'Zoe', bubbling as it screams a perpetual freshet of noise." - Aural Pressure
