Rimerman's fascination with sound synthesis began at the age of
seven, when his elementary school music teacher brought a Moog
Sonic Six education synthesizer to his music class. From that day
on, he dreamed of creating unique sounds and eventually
adventurous electronic music. It wasn't unti the age of 18 in 1987
that Rimerman began writing experimental/industrial electronic
music while studying classical piano.

After spending several years developing his own style and approach
to sound synthesis and composition and his second of many visits
to the U.K. and Europe to discover and be influenced by new forms
of electronic music, he launched his Constant Flux audio/visual
project in 1995 specifically to marry experimental electronic music
with tightly integrated, abstract motion graphics.

To scratch the surface, Rimerman's musical influences include
Bartok, Debussy, Barber, Phillip Glass, John Cage, Kraftwerk, Brian
Eno, Robert Fripp, Riuchi Sakamoto, Miles Davis, Shadow Fax,
The Yellow Jackets, Weather Report, Al Dimeola, Easy E, Herbie
Hancock, The Beasty Boys, XTC, The Cocteau Twins, The Church,
Dead Can Dance, Depeche Mode, Baus Haus, Front 242, Skinny
Puppy, Download, Future Sound of London, Meat Beat Manifesto,
Joey Beltram, Bjork, The Prodigy, Underworld, u-ziq, LTJ Bukem,
PFM, Photek, Shy FX, Metal Headz; loads of Wax Trax releases,
4AD, and Warp releases; and early 90s London jungle, d&b and
left field electronic music pirate radio shows. In the past few years
Rimerman has been listening a lot to an experimental electronic
music radio show called Digital Nimbus (digitalnimbus.com),
which provides a consistant stream of electronic music innovation
on a global scale.

In 2001, Constant Flux was introduced to motion visual artist
Lovemushroom (Yo Suzuki) and together they began headlining at
venues and art events such as the Los Angeles County Museum of
Art (October 2001, an evening that featured the LA Philharmonic's
Esa-Pekka Salonen; November 2001 with KCRW's Jason Bentley);
Knitting Factory; The Echo; and Nacional (with Plankton Man of the
Nortec Collective and KCRW's Raul Campos). They were also called
upon to present an unprecedented, large-scale, multi-screen, 3D
audio/visual concert in February 2005 at the Museum of
Contemporary Art, LA to kick off the internationally acclaimed
Visual Music exhibition.

The music of Constant Flux has been aired on radio stations across
the globe including local KCRW, Indie 103.1, KXLU, Power 106,
KUCI, and KSPC. It has also been heard regularly on National
Public Radio.

In 2001, Constant Flux signed to Run Recordings (a division of
Lakeshore Motion Pictures) to release his album All Things Change.
The album was released August 2002, about the same time that Run
launched the massively successful Meat Beat Manifesto comeback
album RUOK.

Constant Flux achieved additional notoriety as a co-founder of the
largest community of experimental electronic music composers in
Los Angeles, known as Fateless Flows (fatelessflows.com). He is
also known for starting the first drum & bass, jungle, and left-field
electronic music venue in Los Angeles in partnership with Shawn
Sorensen (then owner of the popular Café Mocha on Melrose) back
in early 1995 called Mercury at what was then the 8121 Club on
Sunset Boulevard (which later became the location of Dublins).

The sounds and music Rimerman created for All Things Change
were heavily informed by LA’s sprawling architectural landscape
and developing subway transportation infrastructure. While creating
the sounds and writing the tracks, Rimerman explored the downtown
cityscape in an attempt to rediscover the urban LA he knew from
childhood. It should also be noted that Rimerman's creative
process has always been to design sounds from his imagination
from scratch on synthesizers using basic wave forms as the
building blocks of what he considers sonic sculptures. Each
sound is used in the same way an acoustic instrument would be
called upon in an orchestral composition. The placement of
every sound and glitch is painstakingly deliberate. Because his
sound production and composition process is so meticulous and
time intensive, Rimerman only releases an album once every few
years.

Rimerman's journeys to the heart of LA proper were inspired in
1994 by the first of many annual visits to London and Europe
to explore the tremendous underground electronic music scene,
especially the early British jungle, drum and bass, and burgeoning
IDM scenes. These annual visits to uncover bleeding edge
electronic music in Europe and capture U.K. pirate radio sessions
on tape had a profound impact on his writing style. He has his
early 90s European writing partners including Jason Anderson,
George Nakas, Joakhim Hjelm, Jay Vaughan, and Marchello
De Francisci to thank for introducing him to the expansive
technological music world across the Atlantic. He also gained
valuable production and engineering pointers at that time from
producers like Keith Barrows (Sony Music) and Ryan Freeland
(one-time assistant to Bob Clearmountain and recording engineer
for Aimee Mann, Christina Aguilera, and Loudon Wainwright III
to name a few).

The follow up album to All Things Change (Run Recordings,
division of Lakeshore Motion Pictures) is Disentangeled
Elements (Liminal Recordings), which can be found at iTunes,
Rhapsody, eMusic, Amazon, Napster, and many other fine digital
outlets. Constant Flux albums can also be purchased on Myspace
