Artist description
Floating entity of curiousity and expression
"Style w/out a style",
here's some random quotes of i guess criticism,
"you sound like an angry Beck",
"when i listen to your music, i feel like i'm on drugs"
"i still have" (that song) "I love that piano part",
"Do you ever make any money off of this stuff?"
being different isn't really a lucrative investment, unfortunately

Artist History
curiosity and intrigue,
Irrelevant started out as a handle used by Chris Emerle on a local bbs scene. Being into music and in bands, playing guitar and piano, and now as an entity on a 'cyber' level (whatever that's supposed to mean) music started popping up credited to irrelevant.
as bbs's turned into the internet, the handle became ichirou, however the entity Irrelevant became it's own form, on everything from programmed music triggering sounds at the programmer's will (mods, xm's, etc) to random coffee shop open mic takeovers, to live performances in people's living rooms, garages, basements, etc, and the most used, the four-track tape.
which then became the 8-track reel to reel tape, and then the digital harddrive recorded material which was like where it started, as the files translated by computers as music.
is that too technical and boring? probably.
the members of irrelevant have their own colorful histories, but those are the composers and artists, and their lives continue to be lived, but that's irrelevant to the art. the music is the final product. hence, the name irrelevant.
