Based in Dallas, TX
Kevin Deal, a.k.a. Bexarametric (pronounced like the weather term, "barometric") is a one-man project featuring a wide variety of musical influences (intelligent dance, drum & bass, jazz, ambient & classical). His unique style of writing abandons typical European dance styles. Instead, he pushes an American-jazz songwriting style blended with experimental electronic effects, filter tricks & sequencer abuse.
Bexarametric's prolific writing has earned him much acclaim on internet music sites such as Sony's ACIDplanet (number one rated artist and featured artist for the Sony Product Catalog Q1 2005). Deal further strengthened his internet presence in early 2003 with his first full-length release, Bexarametric Pressure, on Metric Style Records.
Bexarametric's live shows are also something to marvel. The Dallas Observer said "Bexarametric's delicious sprinkles of melodic sampling and fury delivers a performance that will make one weak in the knees." Bexarametric toured Europe in the summer of 2005, played the 23rd Central Texas Ambient Campout and AMODA, and is a regular participant in Dallas area Laptop Deathmatches.
Bexarametric has featured three songs, "Extinction Clinic," "Robust Suborbital Filter Jazz" and "The Windmill Sessions," in the Unreal Tournament 2004 Expansion Pack, as well as written an unreleased score for a Need For Speed Underground trailer. He has also scored the award-winning Jason Bounds film Day X.
