Jeff Surak

Jeff Surak is a veteran musical experimenter from Washington, D.C. He began recording under the moniker -1348- in the early 1980s and participated in the hometaper underground. He released his music on his own Watergate Tapes imprint along with other artists such as Controlled Bleeding, Kapotte Muziek, Odal, and collaborations with John Hudak, Crawling With Tarts, Zan Hoffman and others. Surak also performed and toured with his live unit New Carrollton creating improvised post industrial soundscapes.

During the early 1990s Surak spent most of his time living in Russia, where he formed the noise group Sovmestnoye Predpriyatiye (Joint Venture) which did site specific performances. In the late 90s, Surak returned to recording and live performance with the free music duo V. After releasing numerous recordings and touring the USA, V. disbanded and Surak focused on solo works under the name of Violet, creating organic irrational compositions, using electro-acoustic instruments and tape/CD/vinyl manipulations. Surak has recently collaborated with Alexei Borisov, Frans De Waard, Bertrand Denzler, Andrey Kiritchenko, Kotra and numerous others. Surak also heads the label Zeromoon releasing music in various formats.
