Milieu
About
Milieu is Brian Grainger, a bearded recluse living in a midwestern valley producing psychedelic electronic music, sun-warmed analogue ambient and sci-fi braindance, for cats, aliens and epicureans alike. Brian records and releases music under many different names, including (but not limited to) Milieu / Coppice Halifax / Bike / Vhom / Pink Space / TMA3 / Troth. His music is warm and nostalgic, similar vibes to boards of canada.
Born in the subtropical south-eastern coast of the USA, Brian transmutes the rural and seaside elements of his surroundings
into synesthetic melody and texture, often producing dense layers of sonic compost and colourful reams of psychedelia.
A polymath (according to Wire magazine) who, since 2003, has issued over 600 albums, EPs and singles many of them independently released via Brian's bedroom studio, on every format from cassette to vinyl.
