Brian Wenner

Brian Wenner is a Brooklyn-based experimental electronic musician and sound artist. His artistic practice involves sound collage and improvisation to create dense works that feel frenetic yet structured. Bandcamp has described his sound as “sizzling experimental electronic music, alternatively dissonant and tuneful.”

Working primarily with sampled audio content, Wenner’s creative process is heavily inspired by Musique Concrète combined with modern digital processes. He often gathers sound material from a variety of sources including Internet and phone-ripped audio, natural field recordings, and his own personal sample library. Sounds are then manipulated and layered via hardware samplers and further edited and re-imagined in software. The inspiration for such a process comes from his fascination in recontextualizing found audio to create something meaningful and coherent.

Wenner has composed for dance, theater, multichannel installation, and digital album release. He most recently released an album entitled QUADRANT in March of 2025 which documents a quadraphonic sound performance recorded live in Austin, TX. The album came out on the London-based experimental record label Old Technology. Wenner also co-curates and organizes the monthly experimental music series Artifact.
