Pierce with Arrow is the new collaborative project of U.S. electronic music producer Troy Pierce and Colombian audiovisual artist Natalia Escobar, aka Poison Arrow. Borne of a shared love for deeply melancholic musical moments more suited to a candlelit living room than a dance floor, they eventually went into the studio with a larger project in mind.

 The duo's shared interest in a spatial and cinematic approach to music informed their first project, Shatter, a multi-faceted endeavor inspired by the Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus. They first created a collection of shadowy surrealist videos as content for their live performances and then wrote music inspired by these vignettes. Later, a scent was created in collaboration with the perfumer Mark Buxton as an olfactive translation of the music and videos. These three elements come together to form a unique cross-sensory experience.

Musically Shatter is a diverse offering, full of slowly revealing, dreamy soundscapes and sluggish off-kilter beats that lead the listener through mysterious terrain. Individually, each artist has a range of experiences that dutifully lend themselves to this more expansive work.

 With their debut album on Dais Records, an ongoing olfactory collaboration with Folie A Plusieurs, and a live show in the works, Pierce with Arrow represents the duo's attempt to expand the very nature of how music is consumed to create something as immersive as a harrowing dream or an illicit love affair.
