Biography of Heath Brunner a.k.a. Silicon
Hey Everybody..
This mp3 is the PA that I should have preformed at Fuse-In-Detroit. My time was cut short at the Festival last year and I was only able to do a 1/2 hr - 40 mThe brainchild of recording artist Silicon, Vmax debuted in 1993. The genetic offspring of a tried and true rock n' roll promoter, Silicon, also known as Heath Brunner, was introduced to the music industry as a young child. Soaking up the sounds around him, he fell in love with movie soundtracks from Tangerine Dream and others of that time. In 1980, he discovered the darker sound of the synthesizer and groups, like Soviet France and Throbbing Gristle, ect. By 1989, Brunner had stumbled upon djing and began to gather an impressive collection, backboned by a collage of Detroit techno artists and Eurodance of the time.
Inspired to make original sounds, Brunner met up with fellow Michigan recording artists abstrak and Tizoc to form Vmax out of his native Lansing. The label was conceived as forum for artists who had the keen desire to get their sound down on wax. The bulk of Vmax releases have been engineered and originated by Silicon.
Vmax relocated from Lansing to Detroit in 1997. With the move, Brunner found a wealth of experienced mentors. He gained hands-on access to the processes of Detroit-style music from the interior industry, working for Record Time Distribution and then legendary Sound Enterprises and mastering guru Ron Murphy. 'Ron Murphy is the cornerstone of Detroit music, in my opinion and I don't think I'd ever pay to have someone else cut my record,' says dj Alan Oldham. Brunner developed his understanding of the inner-workings of vinyl technology working closely with Murphy. Brunner had benefits of working with the best and his experience only enriched his drive. Look for his projects on NSC, and KMS.
Building off inspiration from his mentors, like Murphy, and labels such as KMS, Metroplex, Underground Resistance and 430 West, Vmax has evolved from a tentative small-town invention to buzz across the international underground, consistently performing well in Underground scale charts with the 'Groove Tech' and the 'Bio Structure' eps.
Not limited by sound scope of a particular genre, Brunner says Vmax is constantly striving to provoke individual emotion in listeners through sonic electric transmission. Watch as Vmax climbs out and up the infinite sound development line that is electro, that is techno and that is unnamed and yet to be invented.n set. So for all of the ones that downloaded the other set on this site here is a longer one for ya..
peace,
Silicon
