pH

In the ever-changing luminuous landscape of digital music, pH (or Sean P.H. Campbell) represents a distinct evolution in the performance psyche of electronic musicians and live PA worldwide. Using a 6-foot table of drum machines, mixers, synthesizers, samplers and toys, pH creates pulsing raves from scratch - all live, all improvised. From behind his wall of LED blips, his energy is infectious, wrapping audiences in sonic chasms rife with deep bass, analoguous hardware glitch, and syncopated breakbeat bliss - all while keeping the laptop at home.

On record, pH embodies most of electronica's more enviable progressive elements, while staying true to his affinity for danceable scores. His first album, $¢ , boasts elements of glitch, trip hop, speak n' spell, and psychedelic funk. His latest efforts on Everything Is Air offer a shift towards big beat and downtempo, as well as remixes showcasing a rich and unparalleled grasp of modern production techniques.

This is live PA at its finest and most expansive - this is pH.
