Morticai, the creative persona of sound designer and musician Jeddy Grant, immerses audiences in ambient soundscapes and ethereal rhythmic melodies that transcend genre. Making use of bass and baritone guitars along with an array of effect pedals, Morticai weaves intricate, polytemporal compositions that transport listeners to realms of introspection and empathy. Their latest album, Please Excuse Me, I’m Grieving, is a meditation on loss and healing, and aims to act as a catalyst for meaningful connection and communal understanding. Morticai has been active in Monterey Bay since 2016, playing shows with Santa Cruz Looping Festival, Liminal Space Collective, Sound Escape, Eclectic Collective, and more.
