About the Maker(s)

Steve Marsh
I've been performing and recording mind-blowing music and making cutting-edge art for 30 years. Beginning in Austin, TX with the punk group Terminal Mind (1977-80), electronic music group Life On Earth (1981-84), and industrial noise group Miracle Room (1986-92) along with various solo ventures, I moved to New York City in 1988 and toured in Europe and America in a partnership with the Knitting Factory. I continued in the groups Wisdom Tooth (1992-98), Buddha Pest (1992-94) and as backing musician for the Blue Man Group (1992-94). I have recently returned to Austin and perform in a variety of experimental music projects including Spelunker (solo electric blues), Radarcave (solo circuit-bent electronics), and O.U.C.H. (electronic improv duo).
