Quick Facts
Biography
Elijah B Torn ( born 1979 in Ithaca, New York) is an electronic musician who lives and performs in New York City. He is the eldest son of guitarist David Torn.
"Sarge - Shukar Rough," Torn's first album was released on the now defunct Can't Stop Eating label. It has received airplay both on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic and RTQE on WORT-FM in Madison Wisconsin.
Elijah B. Torn has also fashioned many remixes, including those for former label-mates Sleepwalker and Betray the Species; Epic Artist Susie Suh; PutDownThatSciencePole, Film Composer Alexander Lasarenko and Scottish songwriters Quinn. Regardless, Torn does not consider himself a remix artist. "I don't want to label myself as producing 'electronic music' or subscribe to the whole 'I make beats' mentality. I make music and that's that." Torn writes on his webpage.
Along with "Shukar Rough," Torn has also produced "Sargemakesloops Vol.1," a sample CD available from Soundengine.com; in it, the electronic artist/producer can find beats, loops and crusty textures fit for any twisted concept of production.
Mr. Torn composes, mixes and provides sound design for television networks and commercials. He is also a member of Viking Cock.
