Null Objct is an LA based musical project by guitarist and composer, Gary Hebert. Null Objct's sound is a fusion of different approaches. It has as much in common with the indie rock world as with techno. The sound can, however, be distilled down to its most fundamental elements, Fenders battle Moogs. It is equally loop based, programmed, structured, and free-form.
Don't let this throw you off, however. It is not conceptual, avant-garde, unlistenable experimentation. Null Objct's music is rhythmic, yet atmospheric. His style has been compared to DJ Shadow, Tortoise, Crystal Method, Sonic Youth, and Radiohead. Still, It all comes together neatly in a unique but coherent whole.

Interesting Instrumental project..
author: Synthpop.net
This is the debut full-length album for Gary Herbert's project that fuses several different styles into a unique whole. Indie Rock and Electronic rock merge and blend here, with interesting (and instrumental, on the whole) results. In fact, the only tracks that feature vocals are "Come Down From There", otherwise, you might hear the occasional sample but otherwise this album is solely instrumental.
As such, it's a interesting exploration of what can happen not only when synths and guitars meld musically, but when they are allowed to stand in that fusion alone. The result is a very atmospheric album that flows along fairly well. The nature of the music is such that while you won't get one particular song stuck in your head for the remainder of the day, you might take a more relaxed and calm feeling with you after the final track closes out. An interesting release, but not essential.
