Maverick musician Lucas Abelas ecstatic performances with shards of amplified glass are the stuff of legend. Their practice emerged within the noise underground, where the glass evolved from a means to create free-noise cacophonies into an oddly versatile instrument producing an organic form of outsider electronica.  Played somewhat like a bellow-less electric reed instrument, Abela subtly vibrates their lips against the shards edges to transmit micro-sonic vibrations into the pane.  This single source of audio feeds a complex array of processing giving the instrument the illusion of ghostly accompaniment forming dense layers of anomalous music.  

Such a singular approach to music creation has attracted the attention of some of the worlds most adventurous musicians sometimes resulting in serendipitous collaborations with the likes of; Lou Reed, Yamatsuka Eye (Boredoms), Dave Grohl (Nirvana), Flaming Lips (Peel Session), Trey Spruance (Mr Bungle), Deerhoof, Merzbow, Chris Abrahams, Oren Ambarchi, Senyawa, Death Grips etc.
