BRIAN YEGGE COMMENCED IN HIS YOUTH, EVIDENCING A PRODIGIOUS APTITUDE FOR MUSIC AND AN ARDENT INCLINATION TOWARDS BOTH PERFORMANCE AND COMPOSITION AS EARLY AS EIGHT YEARS OF AGE. BY HIS PRETEEN YEARS, HE HAD BROADENED HIS REPERTOIRE TO ENCOMPASS MUSIC PRODUCTION AND SOUND ENGINEERING. OPERATING UNDER RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS, MR. YEGGE EXHIBITED REMARKABLE INGENUITY IN DEVISING TECHNIQUES TO REPLICATE THE SONORITIES HE ENVISIONED, ACCOMPLISHING RECORDINGS AND MIXES THAT SIMULATED THE COMPLEXITY OF A FULL ENSEMBLE—ENDEAVORS TYPICALLY UNDERTAKEN IN PROFESSIONAL STUDIO SETTINGS.

IN THE YEAR 1996, BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC RECOGNIZED BRIAN YEGGE'S EXTRAORDINARY CAPABILITIES, ADMITTING HIM TO PURSUE STUDIES IN PRODUCTION/ENGINEERING, COMPLEMENTED BY A MINOR IN MUSIC BUSINESS.

AS A MUSICIAN OF CONSIDERABLE VERSATILITY, MR. YEGGE HAS IDENTIFIED THE BASS GUITAR AS HIS INSTRUMENT OF PREDILECTION, PARTICULARLY FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE SCENARIOS. HIS STUDIO ENDEAVORS, HOWEVER, REVEAL A PENCHANT FOR CHALLENGING TRADITIONAL APPLICATIONS, UTILIZING THE BASS TO FORGE DISTINCTIVE SOUNDSCAPES CHARACTERIZED BY ITS INHERENTLY DARK TIMBRE AND EXPANSIVE TONAL SPECTRUM. FOR AN EXHAUSTIVE INVENTORY OF HIS LIVE AND STUDIO EQUIPMENT, ONE MAY CONSULT THE GEAR PAGE. MR. YEGGE HAS LENT HIS TALENTS AS A BASSIST TO SEVERAL MUSICAL COLLECTIVES. " RISEN ," INITIALLY KNOWN UNDER "WELLHOUSE," MARKED HIS INAUGURAL FORAY INTO THE GARAGE BAND SCENE, SERVING BOTH AS BASSIST AND PRODUCER. HIS DEBUT PRODUCTION, EXECUTED ON A TASCAM PORTASTUDIO 4-TRACK CASSETTE RECORDER, HAS BEEN SUBSEQUENTLY REMASTERED AND DISSEMINATED VIA SOUNDCLOUD . HIS MUSICIANSHIP EXTENDED TO BANDS SUCH AS PRIMARY , DEADBOLT ZEN , AND COLLABORATED ON A REMAKE OF THE CURE'S "A LETTER TO ELISE " WITH THE GUYS OF DEADBOLT ZEN UNDER THE SUDO NAME, "A GIRL NAMED GRAVITY". THE YEAR 2008, ANTECEDENT TO PRIMARY'S DISSOLUTION, SAW THE INCEPTION OF ANGERSHADE , YEGGE'S AMBITIOUS EXPLORATION INTO THE REALMS OF SOUND DESIGN, TRANSCENDING CONVENTIONAL COMPOSITIONAL AND PRODUCTION METHODOLOGIES. ALTHOUGH " GLOCK ," ANGERSHADE'S INITIAL OFFERING, DEBUTED DISCREETLY IN 2014, IT WAS THE RELEASES OF " ARETE ," A 5-TRACK INSTRUMENTAL EP IN 2019, FOLLOWED BY " THE HEX SESSIONS " AND " THE ENVY SESSIONS " IN MAY 2021, THAT DISTINGUISHED THE PROJECT. " THE ISOLATION SESSIONS " WERE UNVEILED ON JULY 27TH, 2022, SUBSEQUENT TO A DEFERMENT PROMPTED BY PERSONAL EXIGENCIES. IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT BOTH "THE HEX & ENVY SESSIONS" WERE RETRACTED FROM AVAILABILITY ON AUGUST 12TH, 2023.

THE YEAR 2023 HERALDED THE REISSUANCE OF "ARETE" IN A REMASTERED FORM, ADAPTED TO THE SUPERIOR RESOLUTIONS AVAILED BY CONTEMPORARY STREAMING PLATFORMS, ALONGSIDE ITS INTRODUCTION IN VINYL AND CD FORMATS VIA A PRINT-ON-DEMAND SERVICE, PROMISING AN AUGMENTED AUDITORY EXPERIENCE. THE DELUXE, LIMITED EDITION OF " ARETE (REMASTERED) " COMMENCED PRE-ORDER ON AUGUST 12TH, 2023, WITH SHIPMENTS COMMENCING ON OCTOBER 11TH, 2023. THE LP VARIANT OF "ARETE (REMASTERED)" WAS MADE ACCESSIBLE FOR STREAMING AND DIGITAL PROCUREMENT ON NOVEMBER 17TH, 2023.

CONCURRENTLY, MR. YEGGE HAS ENGAGED WITH THE DISCIPLINES OF PHOTOGRAPHY & GRAPHIC DESIGN . MARCH 2022 MARKED THE COMMENCEMENT OF HIS GRADUAL WITHDRAWAL FROM MODEL PHOTOGRAPHY, CULMINATING IN HIS DEPARTURE IN SEPTEMBER 2023. HE CONTINUES TO UNDERTAKE SELECTIVE COLLABORATIONS, BESTOWING COMPLETE CREATIVE AUTONOMY UPON THE INVOLVED MODELS.
