Originally formed in Brooklyn, NY in July of 2014 by bassist Adam Neely and drummer Shawn Crowder, Sungazer has brought their unique blend of hard-hitting Jazz Fusion, 8-bit, Progressive Rock and EDM to audiences worldwide. Sungazer explores the human element of improvisation within the context of modern electronic music. Exciting, hard-hitting, and never predictable, Sungazer creates music aimed squarely ahead into the 21st century. They released their sophomore EP entitled Sungazer, Vol. 2 in 2019.

Sungazer’s debut full-length album, Perihelion explores time and the liminal spaces between jazz improvisation and modern electronic music aesthetics. The album was co-produced and mixed by Simon Grove (Plini, Protest The Hero, Intervals) and features an eclectic cast of guest musicians including Joshua de la Victoria, Hannah Sumner, Jae Soto, Tom Monda (Thank You Scientist), Shubh Saran, Jared Yee, Christian Li, Zac Zinger, Brian Plautz (Aberdeen), Brian Krock (Big Heart Machine) and the Resonance Collective.

Maddie Ashman is an avant-pop artist and composer, with a love for exploring microtonal music in uncanny, illusory yet accessible ways.

Recent performance highlights include a sold-out show in Istanbul with Tolgahan Çoğulu and a premiere of new work ‘Painting with Glass’ with cross-cultural GOKUMI ensemble.
