Biography
Rachel Evans, a Georgia-based ambient musician and visual artist, pursues solo work under the Motion Sickness of Time Travel name. She constructs immersive experimental drone compositions through a blend of analog and digital synthesizers alongside guitars, pianos, and assorted other instruments, generally building the tracks via improvisation and successive overdubs of instrumentation and vocals. Outside this solo activity she also records with her husband Grant Evans in the duo Quiet Evenings. The pair ran Hooker Vision together between 2008 and 2014, then launched Adversary Electronics in 2015.
MSoTT’s earliest recordings surfaced on Hooker Vision in 2009 and swiftly attracted strong interest among listeners of experimental ambient music. Digitalis issued the cassette Seeping Through the Veil of the Unconscious in 2010, followed by a vinyl edition early in 2011. Luminaries & Synastry appeared on the same label that year and drew praise from FACT and Pitchfork. Also during 2011, Aguirre Records released a split LP with Nova Scotian Arms (Grant Evans), while Evans maintained a schedule of cassette releases on labels such as Sweat Lodge Guru and Tranquility Tapes. In 2012 Spectrum Spools brought out the self-titled double album by MSoTT, which garnered further acclaim. The next year Boomkat Editions issued the mini-album The Perennials, which includes some of the project’s most rhythmic material. Since that time Evans has concentrated on self-releasing limited cassettes and CD-Rs that feature handmade packaging.
