G.S. Sultan

Roy Werner is a Brooklyn based visual artist and composer focusing on sample oriented composition through custom software written in Max/MSP. Often under the moniker G.S. Sultan, his sonic work attempts to force spanning source material into connotative and contextual equivalence via a translation of data into musical structures and cues. Following a similar conceptual arc, Werner’s visual work employs the same software to process and manipulate video samples for multimedia pieces suggesting two sides of the same algorithmically rendered coin. He is performing throughout Europe in support of a new full-length LP, Redundancy Suite (Phinery, August 2016) and has worked recently with other imprints including Orange Milk Records and Mexico-based Umor Rex to release music.
