Bounte (bown' · tee) is a cross-boundary electronica producer in Chicago. His
music blends slices of pop, IDM, hip-hop, rock, dance, jazz, and classical, into
a hypnotic, yet energetic, collaged groove.
Bounte grew up in Chicago, and started playing trumpet at an early age. He began
his fascination with computer production in the 80s with bleeps and clicks on
the Apple IIe, which eventually escalated in to the fluid modern production
environment of Ableton Live, his current tool of choice. He is able to use his
classical and jazz training to bring an air of sophistication and a new palette
of sounds to the electronic music genre, while still drawing on the deep
tradition of Chicago's rich blues and electronic histories.
Bounte is an accomplished visual artist, and his live performances reflect that,
with vivid computer graphics and filmed landscapes moving in counterpoint to the
music. "Art and music compliment one another, satisfying different basic
compulsions that we have," he notes. "I approach music with a very visual
mindset, sequencing samples, grooves, and melodies together like a collage,
refining my compositions layer by layer, and hopefully sharing a few moments of
how I experience the world. Released on Positron and available May 20th, 2007.
