Electro-acoustic composer Jeff Greinke is, like similar-sounding artists Robert Rich and Vidna Obmana, one of the younger contemporary principals of space music, approaching production and writing with an architect's sense for setting, depth, and movement. Like many of his coevals (particularly in North America), Greinke was producing self-examining, experimental electronic music many years prior to its late popularisation in ambient and isolationist electronica, cathartic much of his to the highest degree important work either on cassette or through diminutive main labels with limited distribution. Currently based in Seattle, Greinke studied meteorology at Penn State and began producing and playing electronic euphony in 1980. Working at number one in an academic setting with extensive gear at his disposition, Greinke opted or else to assemble his have, relatively spartan studio. Influenced by the soundscape experiments of composers such as Brian Eno and David Moss (peculiarly the latter's Terrains), Greinke began desegregation thin, wholesale electronics with to a great extent toughened samples and sound effects, percussion, and broad utilization of digital and analog personal effects, gift his euphony a spacial depth which many have compared favourably with Eno's On Land. More latterly, Greinke has unified an increasingly large rhythmical focal point, filling in the more unchanging approaching of his early recordings with heavier instrumentation and percussion. As a solo artist, Greinke has recorded a numeral of albums for Multimood, Silent, and his possess tag, Intrepid, which he formed with artist/sculptor/producer and frequent cooperator Rob Angus in 1982. He has contributed tracks to legion dark/industrial ambient and Rich, Obmana, DJ Spooky, Biosphere, Kathleen Amacher, Alan Lamb, and Michael Stearns. Additionally, Greinke is a initiation member of the quaternary world ethno-ambient/jazz quartette Land, world Health Organization have recorded a number of albums for the Australian Extreme pronounce. Also a ocular artist of some note, Greinke has exhibited his photography (which too graces many of his album covers) and composed soundtracks for film and video.
