Brian Wenner is a Brooklyn-based experimental electronic musician. His musical practice combines sample layering and live improvisation to create dense sound works that feel frenetic yet structured. Bandcamp has described his sound as “sizzling experimental electronic music, alternatively dissonant and tuneful.”

Working primarily with a laptop and hardware samplers, Wenner’s work is heavily inspired by Musique concrète and sound collage, as well as the modern cultural phenomenons of digital content fatigue and doomscrolling. He often gathers sound material from a variety of sources including Internet and phone-ripped audio, natural field recordings, and his own personal sample library. Sounds are then live manipulated and layered via hardware samplers and further edited and re-imagined in software. The inspiration for such a process comes from his fascination in recontextualizing random audio snippets and everyday sounds to create something musically meaningful and cohesive.

Wenner has composed for dance, theater, multichannel installation, and digital album release. He is set to release a new album entitled QUADRANT in March of 2025 which documents a quadraphonic sound performance recorded live in Austin, TX. The album will be coming out on the UK-based record label Old Technology. Wenner also co-curates and organizes the monthly experimental music series Artifact.

He has performed across North America and has been featured and reviewed by outlets such as Art Basel Miami, CADAF, Satellite Art Fair, The New York Times, Time Out New York, The Creators Project, The FADER, VICE, FACT and Self-titled Magazine.

“a glitchy musique électrique that feels like walking through numerous corridors, command centres and cockpits of a lost-in-space galaxy explorer.” - Mutant Zones

“ [Musical] Layers are added, taken away, elongated, and repeated, to create aspects of unpredictability, of suspense, though it’s all texturally pleasing as all hell.” - Ears to Feed

“When it comes to experimentation, the Brooklyn-based producer knows no limitations” - DMY
