Music By Marcel Blum
As an improvising avant-turntablist and computer musician, Marcel has released experimental electronic music on the Perhaps Transparent, Maz Sound Tools, Free103Point9, and Tom Furgas Editions labels as well as in self-produced limited editions, and has performed at various New York City new music venues in solo shows and as turntablist of Hoichi The Earless and Izzi Ramkissoon's Electric Eel Multimedia Ensemble. Marcel's music, sometimes released under the alias 'Signplant', incorporates turntables, field recordings, obsolesced appliances, and realtime DSP, drawing influences from early tape music, contemporary classical, bebop and free jazz, hip-hop, and IDM.
