Receptor Sight is the mental construct of the brothers Roffeld: Greg and Steve. Deriving their name from information reading proteins on the cell surface of the brain, the northern California duo creates astonishing soundscapes from their secluded Mt Shasta studio. Musically the sound can be reminiscent of everything from Can to Sonic Youth, to early Floyd and Coil. The instrumentation is diverse, yet focused; some-what minimalist, yet always interesting. Receptor sight has developed as a vehicle to push musical boundaries while still serving as an experimentation in "consciousness exploration." The audible thoughts of the composers are apparent in these pieces. In 2002 the duo self-released their debut undogmamind. The instrumentation varies from cookie sheets to didgeridoos. And admirably not a single computer was used.
With Cycles and Connections the group has come into their own sound. Expanding upon their influences of psychedelic rock, Receptor Sight has constructed a sound which has yet to be truely categorized.
