Biography
1) Grey area is an instrumental electronic music act from Sydney Australia, the long term project of composer Alex Salter.
2) A melodic hardcore band from New York with former members of Warzone and Black Train Jack
1) At the time of conception, the sound was the fusion of film music and atmospheres, a ‘grey area’ between two very different strands of cinema audio. Soon the focus had shifted toward the musical end of the scale. Over the next 5 years a chaotic production process resulted in the first album simply titled ‘Grey Area’. A bizarre concoction of looped percussion, heavily effected voice and instrument samples as well as countless overdubs and studio-manipulation.
The Album was well received with positive reviews internationally. Grey Area also began playing to audiences in 1997 and these live tracks plus several studio pieces resulted in their next release absolute grey area (1999). Absolute took a more technological approach to the first album, with a slower more solemn feel and expansive overall production. Tracks from both albums were licensed in Australia, Europe and Asia for compilations.
Meanwhile, Grey Area was starting to play bigger and better parties, feeling most comfortable at outdoor festivals.
In 2000 a line-up change resulted in another shift in the music, this time to a more ambient, spatial, and complex sound, a sound reflected in the 2003 release Penumbra. The culmination of 7 years of musical exploration, Penumbra promises to be Grey Areas deepest, most co-hesive offering to date. From greyarea.chaos.org.au

Grey Area (the hardcore band) is one of my all time favorites. It kind of bums me out when other bands don't know how to do internet searches and it causes confusion.

Their "surprise" set before Kid Dynamite at This Is Hardcore last weekend was amazing as well. I wish they would play shows more often. [2]

One of my favorite bands ever. Fanbelt Algebra and the Self-Titled records are both incredible. Caught them earlier this summer in NYC and it was easily the most fun I've had at a show in years. Their "surprise" set before Kid Dynamite at This Is Hardcore last weekend was amazing as well. I wish they would play shows more often.

electronic Grey Area - good. Проект со своей собственной атмосферой в такой, казалось бы, стандартной музыке

Punk and ambient :> nice mix. The guy who calls himself Gray Area and makes some ambient music is Alex Salter as I can remember.
