Brian
English is a 23 year old graduate of the UC Santa Cruz Electronic Music
program. He lives in Santa Cruz and is the Product Specialist & Beta
Coordinator for Antares Audio
Technology the company which produces Auto-Tune 4, AVOX, Kantos,
Filter, Microphone Modeler, Tube, and Infinity. He blends rhythmic
electronic music with experimental sound design and ambience. Brian
records over 75% of the sounds he uses. Brian was lucky to grow up surrounded by a lot of electronic music talent. At the age of 16 (1999) as close friends of Bhang-Ragga master Kush Arora and electro hip-hopster Lucas Patzek, Brian watched their unique sound design techniques in Cool Edit Pro and spicy beat production in Fruity Loops, which culminated in their experimental dark ambient group Involution and Kush's side project Clairaudience. At the age of 19 (2002) Brian really began to learn the electronic music ropes from Fluorescent Grey who taught him how to use Reaktor and Cubase. FG's creative approach to sound design and patch building rubbed off on Brian, whose musical growth came as a result of collaborating and contributing sounds on parts of FG's solo album "Lying On The Floor..." and an unreleased collaborative Goa Trance album. Brian was in the November 2004 issue of Remix magazine appearing as part of Fluorescent Grey's live show at the Future Forward Festival, which included other acts such as Christian Kleine and Bonobo. Following in March (2005) Brian released the "I am Bathroom Shaman" demo CD. Now 23, after further refining this work, he is finally seeking distribution on the evolution of this work, Beyond Words.
