Sounds Like
robots that had babies with humans and grew up on a steady diet of synthesizers, funky music, science fiction, grimey desolate environments. then they interbreeded with drum machines...
hailing from the depressed, post industrial mining region of pennsylvania usa, rudiman found early he loved synthetic, danceable rhythms and sounds that werent quite normal. growing up on synthpop and 80's hits, he later found punk rock then industrial in the mid 1980's. this consumed him. forming THD Total Harmonic Distortion in 1990 with Ed Vargo, they embarked on a 8 year journey into Industrial/electronic/IDM/EBM/experimental rhythm and soundscapes. with this they released 4 fulllengths and several ep's and piles or remixes.
in 1997 rudiman fell head over heels for the sound of detroit techno. he knew he had found where he wanted to be. this led to moving to pittsburgh and founding the Hypervinyl Records label with Trevor Combee. soon after the 3rd release, this fell apart. rudiman had also been introduced to Anthony Shakir, and through this friendship, to 7th City Records and Daniel Bell. this led to releasing 2 records for Mr. Bell. since that time rudiman has founded a new label Technoir Audio with partners Jwan Allen and Adam Ratana. they have releeased quality records now for 8 years since their inception. rudiman has also released on other labels such as Finest Blend of rinkeby, sweden,- Dust Science of sheffield, england- Integrated of delaware, USA - Matrix Records of detroit, USA - Sound Architecture of rotterdam, holland and many more...
Rudiman is also as much know for his live performances. Truely a consumate artist, he prefers to play without the use of computers or software. Rudiman's style of live performace is done by very few others. its almost completely impromtu and "off the cuff". he chooses to conduct his sets like a jazz band would: letting every machine flow like performers and have their particular freedoms and moment to shine. there is no preset structure or even style. it is all particular to that given day. over 90% of all composition of the music and rhythms are composed there on the spot, for him and the audience to experience together for the first time. its a way to perform that is attempted by very very few.
rudiman's studio interests also are notable. constantly making new material and sound design is what drives him. analog and digital synthesis, older digital samplers and archaic music machines are the tool choices for this sound mechanic.
Rudiman's sound can be described as: detroit techno, techno soul, techn-funk, funky techno, jackin techno, techn house, electro soul, electro funk and ambient soundscapes.

I just got my REAL - Actual - physical - copy of "The Evolution of our Decay" from Amazon and I am in love with it! Right now, Exotic Skin, State of the World, and Requiem Humana are favs. However, I really dig A Place for Me too. It's a solid listen straight through. Not many albums are doing that for me lately.
What is the definition of Techno music?
Derrick May once described Detroit techno music as being a "complete mistake...like George Clinton and Kraftwerk caught in an elevator, with only a sequencer to keep them company."
voici à quoi cela pourrai ressembler.
hey shawn...i am still high off your set. AMAZING! thank you so much...hope you were happy with it. here's a video i shot of you from friday night. much respect...
hey thanks for the connect. solid music you've got going there; i like the hardware-based sound- i'll catch you live sometime cuz i'm from your meatspace/landscape. check out my site at nature of sound-growth to hear/see some of my new stuff... i have a new album, 'growth', first web-based album for me, and though the base visuals are all online the tracks are being released every couple weeks, so the album 'grows' in real-time.
Hey, how's it going? New release, out now on all the main digital stores - Beatport, Juno download etc... !!! Samplers on my page - check it out, cheers!
Word, yeah I used that version of the AudioRealism Bassline for all the 303 stuff on Outono...newer version just has too much unnecessary b.s. added to it. Thanks for the insight on your drumming skillz :)
