Bruce’s first two EPs, Just Getting Started / Tilikum for Livity Sound and Not Stochastic on Hessle Audio, announced an artist with a clear sonic signature. Bruce's background in electro-acoustic sound design allows him to pull the rug out from under the listener’s feet, but he always has the tact to drop them safely back to Earth. This push and pull has made for some of the most thrilling tracks in recent memory.
