NERVE

NERVE evolved out of Jojo Mayer’s legendary party event Prohibited Beatz in NYC during the late 90′s. Initially a platform for experimental interaction between DJ’s, visual artists, musicians and the audience, the collective eventually developed into a fine tuned group that cross-pollinated the premeditated format of programmed electronic music styles with real time, improvised music performance. NERVE re-examines and transcends the relationship between human creativity and digital technology and has created a new form of musical expression which is completely unique in the world today. The aim is authentic 21st century music. NERVE sounds like electronic music, but it’s not. It doesn’t sound like jazz or rock, but it is. NERVE’s basic trio set up of Drums Bass and Keyboards is consistently accompanied by their own live sound engineer. The current line up of NERVE consists of: JOJO MAYER, Drums / JOHN DAVIS, Bass & Low End Manipulation / JACOB BERGSON, Keys & Synths / AARON NEVEZIE, Sound and Realtime Audio Deconstruction.
