biographical info
Three individuals from different musical backgrounds, each with his own unique vision, meet at an Otomo Yoshihide/ Ruins concert and the resultant collision becomes Broken Record Chamber. Imagine, if you can, a garage band version of Otomo chucking a used record store down the stairs.
BRC was inaugurated in Sept.1998 and since that time have performed in the 2000 Vancouver International Jazz Festival, the 2001 FIMAV Festival in Victoriaville, Quebec, live on CBC's BRAVE NEW WAVES program and from the studios of Vancouver's co-op radio station (CFRO) as well as many other local venues and festivals.
Like true grandchildren of McLuhan, BRC are at home in the global village, where instant access to all things electric is the norm. Drawing from pop rock to ambient electronic to improvisation, 20th century classical, the diverse and talents of BRC have coalesced into a categorical no-man's land: an urban/ environmental, signal-to-noise, DIY improv-ambient adventure kit.
