Https://www.blackleatherbirds.comBLACK LEATHER BIRDS is the solo project of A.G. Syjuco, best known as the producer and composer behind the experimental rock/art band Jack of None. Launched during the 2020 pandemic, Black Leather Birds is A.G.'s personal space for exploring new musical ideas and pushing creative boundaries beyond his collaborative work. In March 2021, A.G. released his debut EP, "The Color of Memory," featuring predominantly instrumental music that did not seem to fit Jack of None's aesthetic. In May 2026, A.G. released his latest EP, "of Children and Their Sorceries," a five-track opus heavy on atmosphere, spoken word, and slow-building tension. The record explores themes of anxiety and existential dread with a literary sensibility, placing prose poetry and ritual chant alongside more conventional song structures. A.G. actively experiments with integrating software development innovations and techniques into music and video production, leveraging his professional expertise as a technologist at a major multinational tech firm. Black Leather Birds reflects A.G.'s passion for creative exploration, technology, and storytelling through sound and visuals.
