Gladstone Deluxe is a New York based artist working with percussion and electronics. Their work takes form in performances, recorded music, and installations.

As a percussionist, Gladstone is interested in how conceptions and politics of time are embodied, and can bleed into the social topography of a culture through rhythmic performance. As a technologist, they develop systems for the augmentation and amplification of percussive messages. His experimental approach towards composition and interface design is a collision of the spiritual and the cybernetic.

In 2023, Gladstone released music with Black Techno Matters, is / was, DETOUR, Ongoing Box and Miscellaneous Records. Films that Gladstone scored were shown at the British Film Institute, a STARZ television premiere, the Hawai’i International Film Festival and more. He’s appeared in galleries like The Warhol Museum, Rubin Foundation, Chashama, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and night clubs across the country. 2024 holds collaborations with Moog Synthesizers, Sō Percussion, Attacca Quartet, and more. Gladstone also keeps busy as the timbales player for Las Mariquitas, which was recently featured in Rolling Stone. Gladstone holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, an MFA from Columbia University, and is pursuing a Ph.D in Music Composition at Princeton University.
