Amateur musician since early 90s. I make music mainly for fun without any real hardware (well, just a mouse connected to a desktop pc actually), so the tracks aren't professionally mixed, mastered or anything.

BATTERIE is the brainchild of Jared Underwood; award winning musician, composer, percussionist, experimentalist and graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and AFTRS (Australian Film Radio and Television School)
BATTERIE combines improvised live drums, synthesizers, sampling, live looping, and electronics that interact with visual projections in a unique live solo show that pushes the boundaries of what a solo performer can do.
BATTERIE performs instrumental electronica inspired by IDM, electro, chip tune, breakbit, experimental rock and post rave music genres.
Some highlights have been supporting New York art rock band Gang Gang Dance at the Sydney Opera House, opening for cult Japanese group CIBO MATTO, performing at ART BAR at The Museum Of Contemporary Art and most recently playing SQUARE SOUNDS festival in Melbourne (Australia’s only Chip tune music festival), SUB SONIC dance music festival 2018 and curating the music and headlining PLAY FARE a indie game festival held at 107 Projects Redfern in early 2019.
Over the last few years BATTERIE has been busily composing music for indie games including : OTTTD, One More Dash, PLATO, One More Jump, Thumb Drift and One More Line. The games he has worked on have been downloaded more that 24 Million times . The music is available on Apple music, Spotify, Soundcloud, BandCamp and more.
