Grey

Grey is a collaboration between Sean Anderson and Eric Reeves; two artists divulging from very different backgrounds. The duo first met while scouting talent in Houston for Moon Magnet Productions in 2001. Eric had developed a recent ear for electronic music and had spent most of his adolescence becoming an accomplished bass player and music theorist concentrating on the sounds of new age rock music. Sean was a 7-year Dj veteran of the vibrant Dallas electronic music scene and an avid guitar player and jazz enthusiast. Soon after, the musicians began the Grey project after working in the studio on inner-city visits.

The aim of the project was to break down barriers between Sean’s love of the intricacies of tech house and older electro, and Eric’s current work as a progressive DJ/Producer. The project focused on warm atmospheres along with quirky embellishments. Grey is known for producing two very different styles of music ranging from deep and moody to quirky and light. In 2002 Grey established its main outlet for musical expression with the founding of Harmonious Discord Recordings; an estranged label specializing in anything pushing the norm’s of convention.

The first release featured Eric’s solo track under the moniker Litex called “Unimpossible” and sparked a series of deep progressive type pieces from the Houston innovator. The groups first collaborative project came over a year later when Chicago based record titan Guidance Recordings released the “Solid Foundations Ep” debuting the duo’s four-track diversity. Shortly after followed another project by the two to be released on their own Harmonious Discord imprint in November of 2003 called “N(ua)ghty Glances”.

In addition to the focused group projects Eric has released records with long time friend and fellow musician Smight, naming the project Smight presents Magic Shoe. The progressive team have since released on such prestigious labels as Niche and Hellpass. As we look to the future of the Grey collaboration, forthcoming releases on labels like Chalant, Fair Park, and Frick n’ Frack as well as many more releases on the Harmonious Discord label leave little time for looking back as the project continues with force and drive to provide a different shade of music to a thriving medium.
