Artist description brain:blood:volum is a one-man ambient-industrial-electronic project created by and featuring me. Using samplers and guitars as the main instruments, I create trippy electro-pop and rock songs that cover a variety of styles and subject matter. Much of my inspiration comes from the world of radio and TV, since there's always something cool or ridiculous to be sampled! :)

Music Style Trippy, sample-laden electro-rock

Musical Influences Sanctum, Bjork, Circle of Dust, Scorn, Cypher 7, Skinny Puppy, Godflesh, Mortal and countless others... oh, and AM radio.

Similar Artists umm.. good question. Let me know if you figure this one out.

Press Reviews brain:blood:volum - demo (CD-R) independent, 2000 - "Like a beautiful car slowly being crushed in time with the beating of ahuman heart, this is downtempo emotional industrial at its' most intensely grinding best. Complete with gothy synths flowing across a sea of infectiously groove ridden percussion and backed with heavily fuzzed laden guitar riffs. The vocal work fleshes itself out in several forms. Succeeding in everything - ranging from harsh screaming, to aggressive whispering, to the alterna-rock ballad work of "Walking Wounded." The demo winds its' way down with an uptempo ambient/noise track, and finally closes with a full on crunching remix of the most aggressive track on the album, "Over It". (Automata Zine)
