Blind Mime Ensemble: Covering Songs as a Tribute

Covering songs by artists whose work resonates with us is a way to pay tribute while bringing their music into our unique sonic landscape. An AI-Driven Interpretation BME is Briyan Frederick’s AI-assisted music project, pushing the…
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…
Blind Mime Ensemble is a multimedia art project by Briyan Frederick.
Blind Mime Ensemble is fronted by Riyan and Freyd, two enigmatic, blind mimes who navigate a surreal, ever-shifting world of sound, silence, and absurdity. Their blindness is fluid—sometimes self-imposed, sometimes real, sometimes performative—as they search for meaning, expression, and each other in an evolving landscape of experimental music, visual storytelling, and conceptual art.
Their performances blur the lines between dreams and reality, chaos and order, seeing and unseeing, embodying the essence of Blind Mime Ensemble’s ever-expanding universe.
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.
