Edito de The Gutters of HeavenGiving in to emotion and obsession, electronic musician Sean Allen Fenn fuses dark, poetic, indie rock with bedroom-produced electronic music and a pop sensibility. His emotive, dissonant-yet-desireable sound represents the furtive lifestyle of the svelte San Francisco urbanite tinged with an innocent magnetism. "....It seemed to me impossible to leave the world until I had brought forth all that I felt was within me...Oh Providence-grant me at least but one day of pure joy-it is so long since real joy echoed in my heart...." -Ludwig van Beethoven To express the emotion we feel and the urgency to do it before death takes us is the drive of an artist. For Sean Allen Fenn, this drive is executed with the instruments he has most readily available: his guitar and his computer. Jim Reid of The Jesus and Mary Chain, in an interview (on a rare vinyl collector's picture-disc in Sean's possesion) when asked what advice The Chain had for aspiring musicians he replied, "Guitars are cheap. Get a guitar and just get out there [sic]". Those words always stuck with Sean. Now computers are cheap. Music production software is cheap. As cheap as a guitar. Also known as Kreed Duchat of the dark ambient, shamanic group, Trip Tech, and of the mid90's SoCal industrial duo, Cybersmack, Sean Allen Fenn has deep roots in the underground electronic music scene. He also DJs electro/rock/hip-hop/whatever and produces the occasional remix as the devious Skeletor MkNasty. With Cybersmack, Sean (under the psuedonymn, Kreed DuChat) and high school mate Todd Behrmann aka Gimmix, were refered to as "one of the next great acquisitions" by Industrial Nation Magazine. The project was placed on a permanent haitus in 1998 when Sean moved to San Francisco for a job as a trainer for a well known cosmetics company. In San Francisco 1999, Sean met a shamanic electronic musician from El Salvador named Juan Carlos Mendizabal. They formed Trip Tech in 2000, and released Children of the Secret in 2002 on Mendizabal's label, Blacknote Music. BPM Magazine said of Trip Tech's album, "Children of the Secret shattered all your preconceived ideas of electronic music." Electronic Musician called it "a daring electronic work that blurs stylistic boundaries." In the Fall of 2003, Sean Allen Fenn began writing songs for his debut solo record, "The Gutters of Heaven". This EP is crafted with songs - eloquent, simple, yet dynamic songs - telling the story of how the perception of love, lust, and romance begins, climaxes, and dies leaving one disjointed; only to do it all over again. Beyond the personal meaning, these are songs of feelings that everyone can relate to. Composed, produced, and performed by himself, Sean Allen Fenn asked longtime friend and talented producer, Greco Rossetti, to engineer and master this recording. Digital Heroine Recordings (formerly Digital Heroin), the label created by Sean Allen Fenn and Todd Behrmann, emerged as the vehicle for this album to be released. With talented guest musicians (as the Maids of Dishonor): JC. Mendizabal (Trip Tech), Bryan Lee Burik (Evening), Susan Langan (The Invisibles), Jillian Ann (www.jillianann.com), and Imanchu Pandey, "The Gutters of Heaven" will be a providential underground treasure.
