A professional engineer and engineering professor working in renewable energy, green technologies, fresh water, energy efficiency, and sustainability, Brian has also been composing electronic music for over one quarter of a century. Always an innovator, he bucks the trend by focusing on hardware synthesizers and drum machines on one end, and bleeding-edge cell-phone music production doing complete tracks in-the-box using nothing but a $5 DAW and a smartphone. He defies genres, but welcomes the Trance label (his choice as a listener). Hailing from Cleveland, Brian is always on the lookout for the next big EDM (especially Trance) artist to emerge from the rust belt and reinforce the message that the US is the next frontier for electronic musicians of all stripes.
