Born on the 31st anniversary of the first acid trip, colonial synth-rocker Justin H Brierley combines the ancient art of improvisation with shiny new technology. Utilizing synthesizers, MIDI, overdubs, and the occasional bit of virtual circuit bending, Mr. Brierley creates a Neo-Modernist Electronic Listening experience like no other. The result, which he has dubbed Improvised Dance Music for Intellectual Wall Flowers, is a free flowing electronic music with the improvised flair of Jazz, harmonic structures reminiscent of Bach, and textures influenced by synth pioneer Brian Eno as well as modern underground Hip-Hop.
The current Banter/3.1 album, Medicinal Reverb, is available at live performances, in person or by request.

when this much-ballyhooed "visual element" to the B/3.1 experience has a tangible example, please slap it on my comments space. you know you're a clever businessman. or an artist who likes to create themes than turn your back on your own self-created artistic identity. or both. point is, according to yr blog post of 2+ weeks ago, you're managing to add something improve the cash flow for a musician (concerts) with a minimal effort WHILE refining the object which most musicians prefer to work on anyway (social rejects that they are) - the album. which brings the kids and their $ to the concert. and thus begins the cycle. yes, your a clever sort.
ps- of course, these blogs are weeks old. maybe you've changed yr ideas again ;-)
Your music is a trip man. Thanks for accepting. I really like "Forget What the Angel Told You". I also make all my own music incorporating live & electronic. I play with two different improv bands: Death Country Blues & Jam Club... oops, I forgot the first rule of Jam Club. Anyway, this band, let's call it Spam Chubb, is an open project inviting whippersnappers to wet their feet and old folks to knock the dust off. One day by sheer numbers we will take over the world... of Rock. I've got alot of new stuff in progress. I'll let you know when I post it. Peace and chicken feet.
Hm... by spam, do you mean the electronic kind, favored by companies trying to sell ringtones? Or the meat-in-a-can variety? I would think the aural aesthetic to the latter would be much more interesting.
you know i finally realized that i had forgotten to bring all those kindly offered b3.1 CDs with me that night when i unpacked/reorganized the music i lugged with me stateside :-( i guess that's how that night wnet, but i'm still upset because i know i won't get another chance for quite awhile. patiently awaiting NYC update. wishing you the best in the meantime.
