Defrag is extreme sound design and audio rhythmic experimentation of Jeff Dodson, a composer and sound designer living in Los Angeles CA.

Defrag's influences like IDM, dubstep and experimental abstract glitch, filter into his music. With his classical background giving it a more cinematic progression. Orchestrated strings, piano, classic analogue synths and software processing add up to a fusion of analogue warmth, modern classical and raw digital abstraction.

That he chooses instead to make his attention to detail the vehicle for his songs rather than their focus is not only admirable, it’s a definitive comment on his priorities and where they lie. Defrag makes complicated music, but you can completely forget that in the moment and just experience it.

DEFRAG's 5th LP has just released on Hymen Records and is a combination of 3 story EP's (lost lands, lost seas, lost skies) and a condensed vinyl LP version entitled Lost Worlds.

I decided to follow the bigger accounts here, and follow the others in my other account.  Previously I would simply drop them from my list when they got too big, to make room for new ones.  By putting them here, in this account, I don't worry about forgetting anyone anymore = )

2023/12/19 a little later Update: I now can also answer messages.

2023/12/19 Update: I can now edit my profile in this present account : )

My previous account was suspended or terminated a few days ago for a reason unknown to me, so this one may be temporary if the other one comes back to life in the not too distant future ; )
