history:
In 1989 Shawn Rudiman started production work with ed Vargo on THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). This ebm/elektro unit became quite popular in the ebm/ industrial scene of the early to mid 90's, releasing 4 full-length albums, countless remixes and compilation releases on European and domestic labels. Along with this, a fascination with old music machines developed that led him to techno. In 1997 he decided to retire the long worn out industrial-ebm ideals. this led to a move towards pure rhythm and sounds, and a relocation to Pittsburgh, PA the transition period was difficult due to a scaling back of sound layers and refinement of rhythms, but results proved positive. At the same studio production began with techno, so did live sets. Sets of non-stop, all live improvised techno, as fluid and smooth as any dj set, but entirely flexible in direction and tempo. He then started Hyperviny Records with Trevor Combee. This led to meeting Anthony Shakir and that to releaseing tracks for Dan Bell and 7th City etc. He and friend Jwan allen have since started a new label, Technoir Audio. Today he resides somewhere in the ghettos of Pittsburgh and plays live on a regular basis in the mid-west area. 'one of the best live p.a.'s i've ever seen.'- Anthony 'shake' Shakir
last words:
'Yeah I'm sane. But still not right or close to to normal! That's for sure.'
