    My Girl Said To Me

    My Girl Said To Me was originally written and recorded with Joe Maki in the house on 7th Avenue in Salt Lake City which puts it around 1988 or so. It’s one of my absurd heartbreak songs, in the vein of On the Other Side of Pain. Similar word count too. I have memories of…

    Mac OS Sequoia Killed My Audio Interfaces

    As a veteran in music production, I’ve amassed a number of devices that proudly claim to be audio interfaces. They sit in my studio, looking sleek and ready to seamlessly connect the analog world of sound with the digital realm. Among these are the Mackie DLZ Creator, the Mackie ProFX16v3 mixer, and the iConnectAUDIO interface…

    AI Music: A New Opportunity for Artists

    As AI technology continues to influence the music world, it’s time for artists to shift their perspective.

Blind Mime Ensemble is a project by Briyan Frederick powered by 40+ years of music and lyrics, old and new, seeded into AI models mainly in a glitchy electronic pop kind of vein with liberal experimentation and venturing outside the lines. You’ll hear elements of old bedroom 4-track songs, tapegerms and unearthed confessions mixed in, along with lots of brand new stuff.

Blind Mime Ensemble is also a virtual group fronted by two blind mime artists and lovers, developing a digital theatre of the absurd bound by a sublime vision of truth. The troupe is gearing up for its new concept tour under development.

Briyan is creating lyric videos for each recording. Subscribe by clicking the button below.

Blind Mime Ensemble VS is a secondary project where BME creates albums from audio seeded from other artists, Tapegerms, videos, found recordings and more. It’s more experimental glitchy electronic and explores the boundaries of modern composition with AI and other methods.

Blind Mime Ensemble Variations  is where we explore variations of found sounds, art and maybe other things. These explorations result in album-length pieces. Send us something for us to into something new.

You can find Briyan Frederick‘s home and studio recordings at briyanfrederick.bandcamp.com.
