First up here
I have my favourite type of artist at the moment.. that being the
lonely bedroom laptop
programmer.. They're nocturnal creatures and stepping over pizza boxes
and discarded spliff ends you can usually find them in dark bedrooms
stooped over their glowing screen with sore eyes and bad posture. This
guy might be a bit different though
- Brian English is a 23 year old graduate of the 'UC Santa Cruz Electronic Music
program'. Here on his debut album we're treated to his Aphex
influenced sound garden, fresh with electronic roses and glitchy dizzy
lizzies. Using 75% original sounds, its a study and mastery over cubase
and fruity loops. With songs such as "I gave My
Sister Ace of Base in the 3rd grade, this is what she gave me" he takes
us through a personal journey of discovery and self exploration. This
is played out over 78 minutes and he covers alot of ground taking us
from dark electonica to the final "Orchestra surprise" which is a
delicate
harpsichord children's lullaby. A proud day for Mr and Mrs English and
all the support they're given their son (probably). He's entitled it
beyond words and its on record label records.
