About Thollem, Signal to Noise magazine marvels, “It seems beyond the capacity of one human being to contain so much densely-packed creative energy”. Thollem is traveling with four recently-released recordings: Read Between The Lines…Think Outside Them – Tsigoti (Post-Consumer, Oct. 2012); You Are Always On Our Minds – The Hand to Man Band with Mike Watt, John Dieterich and Tim Barnes (Post-Co! nsumer); The Gowanus Session with William Parker and Nels Cline (Porter Records) and 10,000 Tigers with Arrington de Dionyso (Self-Released).

BRAIN GRIMMER, of GrimmusiK, is the electronic music moniker of composer & multi-instrumentalist BC Grimm. Since September 2011, BCG has released 3 EPs: WALT: Recycle Vol I  [2011] | Recycle Vol II  [2012] | CONVERGING Lines: Recycle Vol III   [2012] & 2 full-length albums: BEATS EP   [2011/2012] | Baby’s First DubStep [2012] as Brain Grimmer. His Recycle Projects began as an outlet to electronically re-purpose original string music composed for Theater, Dance, Film, and Yoga score commissions (Mary’s Wedding, Flock Migrates Over the Pines, Lives of Cut Flowers).  His BEATS EP ranges from: jazz inspired hiphop instrumentals & texture bent break-beats, to manipulated samples sourced from Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Japan, China, Egypt, India, and elsewhere! Heavily influenced by music concrete, early tape pieces, & avant-garde aleatory from 20th century composers; BCG! also turns to leaders in 21st C. beat music such as Amon Tobin, J’Dilla, & Flying Lotus for inspiration. Brain Grimmer scores for Tinker Films have recently been featured at the 2012 Wisconsin Film Fest & Bronx International Film Fest 2012. BCG is now working on material for a new solo album, composing with source audio of extended technique on his cello and Chinese string instruments.  This will mark his first Official BRAIN GRIMMER live set, don’t miss it!!
