BioMechanical ShapeShifters (or BioMeSS for short) is a project initiated by Floyd Bledsoe from Ewing, New Jersey. They have been using this name for their electronic experiments since the early 1990s. Starting in 2010, BioMeSS has released many recordings on the internet with now over 100 albums available on the Bandcamp website. Quite experimental in nature, the sound of BioMechanical ShapeShifters covers a broad spectrum stylistically. Genres from such diverse categories as harsh noise to ambient drones, as well as many other territories are explored. There is an aim to showcase various consumer electronic devices and fully explore their capabilities and features.

Floyd is also a member of The Melting Transistor group and has recorded and performed at several concerts and festivals. BioMeSS has twice appeared previously at the Cosmic Crossings Concert Series and promises to bring more curious electronic soundscapes for your ears and mind.
