Josh Russell is a biochemist/sound artist from San Diego. His work lies in the gully between academic electro-acoustic and ambient. Inspired by the soft incidental noises that one normally filters out he distills these sounds down and composes with them. By manipulating previously recorded sounds live as well as amplifying miniature sound environments he tries to give performances that keep the listener engaged and present in the moment. He has put on a number of sound events in San Diego and Los Angeles, and has participated in events on the US west and east coast. His work has appeared on various compilations, including the phonography compilations 1 and 2 (www.phonography.org), the lowercase sound compilations in 2000, and 2002, and the microsound compilation star 6_789 vol 2. Josh Russell will soon have a 3" release on Aesova (www.aesova.org) and a split 3" with Steve Roden. His most recent work is available at www.stasisfield.com . He also runs the record label bremsstrahlung recordings (www.lowercasesound.com).
