Blind Mime Ensemble is a public multimedia art community project founded by Briyan Frederick (aka Bryan Baker of GAJOOB Magazine and Tapegerm Collective). The music mixes a pool of 40+ years of home recordings, experimental tapegerms, found sounds and new seeds through creative music models fueled by Briyan’s lyrical poetry, along with the work of dozens (maybe 100+) collaborators and growing.
Albums are available on GAJOOB Records & Tapes on Bandcamp. Subscribe to our Youtube 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.
AI Soundoff is Briyan’s blog, vlog and podcast about AI Music creativity and industry.
