earWorm

your friendly neighborhood sonic tour guides since 2008

earWorm is an improvisationally driven electroacoustic quartet of composer-performers. All of our music is performed live. As such, earWorm presents an immediate and immersive experience of collective improvisation. We take the listener through a sonic landscape forged as we discover it, each of us acting as vibrational tour guides. Musical actions unfold, results often unforeseen, and we playfully react in the moment of unfolding. Our combined style is as varied as our collective musical experience, dancing within a panoply of free-form jazz, blues, minimalism, electronica, trance, hip-hop, ambient, funk, rock, latin, classical, world, folk, and nearly everywhere in-between. Vivacious, creepy, funky, transcendent, sometimes poignant, and often unexpected even to ourselves: this is an experimental music driven by process. This is earWorm.

Our Debut CD:
earWorm and Vermiphone Records present earWorm. This inaugural CD features nearly 78 minutes of music selected from live performances by earWorm in 2008.
