One-half of space jazz duo Flanger and head of Nonplace Records, Burnt Friedman has lent his ear to several projects under various aliases. Recording under the name Drone in the early '90s for Kim Cascone's now-legendary Silent imprint, Friedman formed Flanger in 1997 with Atom Heart. He went on to form the Nu Dub Players in 2000 and released several recordings with the group for the Scape imprint while maintaining a successful solo career on Nonplace.
