About Me

hi i'm jen. i make dumb music.


The Square Root of Evil is film editor, music promoter & internet radio programmer Jen Pearson, from Vancouver, BC. She's been featured on over half a dozen compilations on US, UK & Canadian labels including Toast and Jam's "We Bore 2" and Uncharted Audio's "Idea Hoard Uncut". She currently has one EP, called "Chirping Data" out on Belladonna. Her work has been described as everything from IDM, Breakcore, Techno, 8-bit, Drum 'n Bass, Glitch & Jungle, as the sub-sub-sub genres continue to split further & further... She's done some touring, and has been threatening to release another EP, so be on the lookout for performances and new material by this Canadian laptop artist.

A reminder, if we have nothing in common and/or you have more than 15000 friends and/or you list Tila Tequila in your top friends, chances are very high that I will deny your friend request so please don't even bother. I am only interested in people who I would actually hang out with in real life. Merci.
