SHAUN SANDOR



I have been earnestly recording and experimenting with unconventional sound since 1997. After playing in guitar in a variety of bands in the late 80's and early 90's, I was living in Europe and got exposed to some of the innovators of experimental music. I came back to the states and got involved in the Cleveland experimental art scene where I was a part of the Pieta and Speak in Tongues phenomenon for a brief time. I left there to attend Columbia College Chicago, and graduated from the Radio and Sound program with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2002. During that time I attended a workshop by Sound Artist Eric Leonardson that strengthened my drive to experiment with new instruments and stimulating sounds.

As Promute, I have utilized broken circuits, a synthesizer, and home-made electronic boxes, and fused them with home-made acoustic counter parts in creating electro-acoustic music. I have assembled 5 releases to date and performed at Sonic Circuits and Signal Festival, as well as a tour in the US and in Europe. As one half of Bicameral Mind (with Bryce Eiman), I have thoroughly enjoyed performing at various festivals in the US and have 7 releases with a variety of collaborators.
