“He’s a minimalist composer with a knack for making hypnotic, enveloping songs from a few repeated musical phrases.” —NPR
BIOGRAPHY
Bayonne is an Austin-based artist, also known as Roger Sellers. Sellers matches his bursts of experimentation with the graceful piano playing he’s honed since he was a little kid. Halfway through high school, he started writing his own material, and self-recording with the help of his family’s tape machine. By his early 20s he’d discovered minimalist composers like Steve Reich and Terry Reilly, which led him to infuse an atmospheric, ethereal quality into much of his work. With the release of Primitives in spring 2016, Sellers adopted the moniker of Bayonne as a way to distinguish his more electronically crafted output from his other musical projects.
