Colin Sanderson is a New York based musician and performance artist who has played in numerous bands and projects, with musicians like Dave Kadden (a.k.a Bird Muzik), Danilo Coleman, and Paul Feitzinger. He is a graduate of Marymount Manhattan College where he studied Music and Art History and he is currently enrolled in Tisch School of the Arts at New York University's Performance Studies graduate program.Colin's main music-making tools include the guitar, keyboards, various electronic devices, live laptop performance, and sometimes his voice (which has a certain rustic charm to it). Colin is a member of the experimental psychedelic band/performance art group Manburger Surgical, along with Paul Feitzinger.

As well as winning multiple awards for achievement in sound design, Colin has performed live laptop improvisations with dancers, and his piece "Infinite Possibilities With Dire Consequences" was composed for a dance by choreographer Joey Kipp.Colin has worked at both the Alan Lomax Archive as a project coordinator and researcher, and at Issue Project Room which is one of the premier performance spaces for experimental music in New York. He was an employee of Franklin Furnace, a performance and ephemeral arts archive and institution.In the realm of performance, Colin has long been interested in ventriloquism, performance art, and variety theater and integrates many of these elements in Manburger Surgical's live performances. Colin's key contribution to the theatrics in recent MNBGR live extravaganzas has been the incorporation of ventriloquial skits with his little pal Felix . Colin hopes develop his routines further in order to realize his ambition of becoming the world's first true "Post-Modern Ventriloquial Deconstructivist."In December 2006, Colin independently released "Cheney Street", a socio-political satire concept album which blends elements of experimental music, prog rock, musique concrete, and ironic pop melodicism. A second conceptual work called "The Complete Recorded Works of Colin Sanderson Volume II: The Lost Recordings Presented in Chronological Order, 2006-2007" followed in the Summer of '07, which is a loving parody of the old blues and lo-fi DIY outsider music that Colin holds so dear. Colin's third self-released solo album "The Snare of Quirk" was released in November of 2008, and represents his work at its most mature and fully consummated.Here's a fun video of Colin playing with Bunnybrains:
