About Me


Byron Mueller (aka PhonoTactic) is a musician/producer involved in the Calgary music scene since the 1990s. Playing keyboards and bass in local bands (most notably Double U-I, Difference Engine, Wheel, Tariq and Strugglah) Mueller's projects have taken him over a wide musical landscape including Reggae, Soca, Rock, Funk, and Electronic.
In 2002, Mueller committed to becoming more involved in production blending the styles he grew up playing with electronic beats and textures. With one foot in old world techniques and the other in the new, his production skills explore the musical terrains of Dub infused Down-tempo, Drum N Bass and Deep/Tech-House. Capturing the essence of Mueller's journey as PhonoTactic, a four song EP - Use Your Talent (If You Can) - was released independently in 2006 and on Real Recordz (an indie label out of Italy) in 2007. Currently Mueller is hard at work finishing his full length "Massive Feedback from the Musical I" and completing remixes for other artists.
Out of the studio, Mueller is active playing Live PA shows accompanied by live visuals (by VJ James Finnan) and on occasion guest MCs and instrumentalists to create truly unique multimedia performances.
