Persistent Vegetative State

We’ve been pretty quiet, but that’s the nature of PVS. Nonetheless, while working in silence, we’ve managed to get our most-revered bandmate, a vintage Roland Juno-60, on the operating table. Once she’s all patched up, we’re going to turn this mother out.

In case you, our dear fans and friends, were wondering, yes, we are still persisting. We’ve been working very hard to bring the non-sentient members of the band to higher levels of consciousness. We are looking forward to sharing our audio experiments soon. As always, our primary ethos in PVS is to remain completely synthetic – no guitars, no drum kits, and absolutely no laptops or iPads. We sail strictly on the seas of synthesis and, one day soon, we will be docking in your port. Until then, ♥️.
