    their own biography

    the whole biography
    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. He has performed across North America and has presented work with institutions such as Art Basel Miami, CURRENTS Art & Technology Festival, Satellite Art Fair, and dadaLab. His work has been reviewed and featured by outlets including The New York Times, Time Out New York, The Creators Project, The FADER, VICE, FACT and Self-titled Magazine. “a glitchy musique électrique that feels like walking through numerous corridors, command centres and cockpits of a lost-in-space galaxy explorer.” - Mutant Zones “ [Musical] Layers are added, taken away, elongated, and repeated, to create aspects of unpredictability, of suspense, though it’s all texturally pleasing as all hell.” - Ears to Feed “When it comes to experimentation, the Brooklyn-based producer knows no limitations” - DMY
