I have been earnestly recording and experimenting with unconventional sound since 1997. After playing in guitar in a variety of bands in the late 80's and early 90's, I was living in Europe and got exposed to some of the innovators of experimental music. I came back to the states and got involved in the Cleveland experimental art scene where I was a part of the Pieta and Speak in Tongues phenomenon for a brief time. I left there to attend Columbia College Chicago, and graduated from the Radio and Sound program with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2002. During that time I attended a workshop by Sound Artist Eric Leonardson that strengthened my drive to experiment with new instruments and stimulating sounds. As Promute, I have utilized broken circuits, a synthesizer, and home-made electronic boxes, and fused them with home-made acoustic counter parts in creating electro-acoustic music.
Notes on the track: Objects and instruments performed and recorded by Shaun Sandor. I stayed with the following processing techniques - reverb, equalization, speed up or slow down (pitch control), and panning. Recording and editing was a digital process, however, and no analog tape was used.
