Brian Moran

Dancer/musician/sound artist Brian Moran has been working in New York since 1981, beginning with experimental dance and expanding out to performance art, live video/sound, improvisation, DJing, punk, and contemporary theater. His career as a massage therapist and a fascination with energy work and body psychology have informed both his movement works, with their body quirks and obsessive gestures, and his music, which channels the tics of Tourette's Syndrome, the rituals of the autistic, the obsessiveness of the addict, and the subtleties of life deviance. He currently uses numerous analog synthesizers, circuit-bent toys, effects pedals, field recordings, and home burned CD-Rs in his music and sound design, which has been influenced by artists, writers, and musicians such as John Cage, J. G Ballard, William T Vollmann, AMM, and Henry Darger.
