Squash & Biscuit 瓜和饼干 is a creative sound studio and experimental duo out of Los Angeles consisting of Brian Griffith and Shuwen Zhao. Created as a catch-all for their various creative pursuits, S&B provide sound design and scores for animators—albeit often more experimental—while simultaneously working on their own installation work, sound collage pieces, and field recording projects. Griffith takes his inspiration from the bass and focuses on the subtle shifts in sound and time that the lower frequencies can provide. His solo work (Greyghost, Geo Skews, Brian James Griffith) often features looped bass compositions that explore the diversity of sound that the instrument can provide. Bringing an intentional mindset and drawing upon his experience with meditation, his intention will be felt whether focused on or treated as acousmatic incense. Zhao draws inspiration from the natural world, idiosyncratic movements, and her lifelong commitment to the piano. Originally from Jinan, China, her musical style is deeply shaped by a sense of rebellion and rejection of hierarchies, instead looking to create unique compositions that are decidedly future-facing. Through a fascination with the sound of everyday objects to her playful exploration of acoustic instruments, she fundamentally is looking for amuse her own sensibilities.
