Artist description Short sound scapes streaming straight from my synapses to your synapses... Listen to the storms as they pass across my brain in search of energy, energy, more energy. Grang voraciously samples his consciousness and the culture around in order to prepare a sonic canvas. How many perspectives have you stood from today?

Music Style An attempt to record the theme music for an odd series of collages, capturing strange cycles of ebb and flow. Listening to these short soundscapes will evoke a day in fifth-grade when an eclipse hit. What does your mind do when you listen?

Artist History Grang comes to electronic music from the world of do-it-yourself punk rock. Separated by a continent from his former musical partners, he downloaded creative tools with which to make everything you can hear at this site. Since October of 1999, Grang has been learning how to take the same DIY ethic to electronica, hoping to craft out an interesting map of his synaptical pathways.

Group Members Grang, a young man dedicated to the notion that every person on the planet is an artist capable of rendering the world in an infinite number of ways. Of course, society insists that artists remain separate, and Grang comes up against this barrier quite often, as he is not trained. This is sometimes obvious, but always makes for interesting expression. And isn't the expression what we need in order to create tools for life? Other actors appear as necessary.

Instruments Voice and samples assembled with CoolEdit peppered with proto musical numbers

Albums The Truth About Egonomics; Reengineered Flesh; Ten Things About April; Bartlebys Vacation

Press Reviews So far, Grang has been ignored. I do not blame the media. They have better things to do. What is the media but the collective thought of our paranational psyche? What happens when we decide that we are the media, that we are the society, that we are the ones who decide what existence should be all about? I say to all of you to use the power of the Internet to strike a new balance between the chaotic and the truly unstable. Learn the tools to take control, to begin to steer your own experience, by throwing off theirs! With all filters removed, this music takes on a new role on a new stage with new lights illuminating a new version of the truth. Do not forsake your creativity by submitting to the applause of any group that would have you silenced if it meant they would receive more power.
