Musical artist

**Supercluster** is a recording project that formed during 2007 in [Athens, Georgia](/source/Athens%2C_Georgia). It includes musicians from the Athens bands [New Sound Of Numbers](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New_Sound_Of_Numbers&action=edit&redlink=1), [Bob Hay & the Jolly Beggars](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Hay_%26_the_Jolly_Beggars&action=edit&redlink=1), [Casper & the Cookies](/source/Casper_%26_the_Cookies), [of Montreal](/source/Of_Montreal), [Circulatory System](/source/Circulatory_System) and [Pylon](/source/Pylon_(band)), along with [Elephant 6](/source/Elephant_6) recording artist [John Fernandes](/source/John_Fernandes_(musician)).[1] Members presently include [Hannah M. Jones](/source/Hannah_M._Jones), [Bob Hay](/source/Bob_Hay_(musician)), [Bill David](/source/Bill_David), [Kay Stanton](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kay_Stanton&action=edit&redlink=1), [Bryan Poole](/source/Bryan_Poole), [Vanessa Briscoe Hay](/source/Vanessa_Briscoe_Hay), [Jason NeSmith](/source/Jason_NeSmith) and [John Fernandes](/source/John_Fernandes_(musician)). Alumni include [Randy Bewley](/source/Randy_Bewley) (deceased), [Heather McIntosh](/source/Heather_McIntosh), [Will Cullen Hart](/source/Will_Cullen_Hart) and [Peter Erchick](/source/Peter_Erchick). Supercluster play what they term "Appalachian Wave."[2] For a brief period they were known as [FFFM](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FFFM&action=edit&redlink=1).

On February 23, 2009, Randy Bewley was driving on Barber Street in Athens when he suffered a heart attack. According to the band Pylon's statement, his van drifted off the road and overturned.[3] He was admitted to [Athens Regional Medical Center](/source/Athens_Regional_Medical_Center) and lapsed into a coma; he died two days later on February 25 when he was removed from life support.[4]

[Bradford Cox](/source/Bradford_Cox) from the group [Deerhunter](/source/Deerhunter) came into Bel*Air studio and helped Supercluster finish the last couple of tracks that needed to be recorded for [Waves](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Waves_(Supercluster_album)&action=edit&redlink=1) which was released October 6, 2009 on [Cloud Recordings](/source/Cloud_Recordings).[5] Live performance guitar duties are now handled by Jason NeSmith and Bryan Poole. Supercluster have continued to record singles since this release and perform locally in Athens, Georgia. They plan on releasing a full length project at some point composed of these singles.[6]
