SQORE is the gritty ambient project of Brooklyn based artist, Em Sgouros. A classically trained percussionist with roots in the DIY punk scene, SQORE creates an emotionally evocative and meditative experience that moves listeners to dislodge habitual thinking, and escape into the present. SQORE has composed for art installations, movement pieces, theater and film, and performed everywhere from yoga studios and art galleries to farms. Most recently they have recorded and sound designed a sample pack, Backpocket Percussion, for We Make Noise and Splice. They are the creator of Ambient is the New Punk which is a community that explores the rebellious nature of ambient music and highlights trans/queer/femme ambient music makers through intimate events around NYC. Outside of SQORE, Em has written, performed and recorded in/for a wide variety of projects taking them all across the US to Terminal 5, SXSW, Winter Jazzfest, Knockdown Center, and Riot Fest. When not creating music, they enjoy bird watching, hiking, and making gnocchi from scratch. :]
