2005: bran(...)pos

bran(...)pos from San Francisco, CA has blundered his way through nose sounds and electronic mish-mash since 1993 with a theatrical performance history that extends back to childhood (under various stage and screen personas, including child actor Jacob Donner and actor/sound designer Jake Rodriguez). the bran is currently continuing his investigation of various forms of performance and music synthesis, with a focus on sonic plasticization and voice manipulation using both hardware synthesizers and a custom set of software-based sound gremlins that interface with the real world via tactile control and performances rounded out with facial interpretations and physical gesture (suzuki and biomechanics-trained/butoh and max fleischer-inspired). this all combines for an experience that is heavy and heady like a metal band doing xenakis covers/ridiculous and magical like popeye sitting in for jean-jacques perrey (popeye and kingsley). full length cds are self-released on Chitah! Chitah! Soundcrack with a new 2005 release in the works titled Quick Martyr/Deified Danger Duck. bran has been performed from Belgium to Boise alongside many of today's most enigmatic and prolific sound and performance experimenters.
