About Me

Josh Russell currently lives in Austin Texas. His work lies in the gully between academic electro-acoustic and ambient. Inspired by the soft incidental noises that one normally filters out he distills these sounds down and composes with them. By manipulating previously recorded sounds live as well as amplifying miniature sound environments he tries to create recordings and give performances that keep the listener engaged and present in the moment.In 2000 he founded bremsstrahlung recordings and in 2005 founded TRANSPARENT RADIATION it's net-audio/CDR sub-label.For more information and audio please visit www.josh-russell.org
