Perry Brandston grew up in New York institutions like CBGB and Carnegie Hall. He has been making speakers for most of his life. In the 1970s Perry Brandston started 3 apprenticeships in 4 years; with a clockmaker, then with a cabinetmaker and then with one of the people who built and operated the sound system at the Fillmore East. This led to work operating a sound system in venues from small bars to art galleries to concert halls. This led to touring with artists, and occasionally to recording, even to performing on a couple of occasions. Then there was the musical theater. And sound system design and installation. Also a stint as an ‘Ambient’ DJ. Currently Perry is working with sound systems as art objects. Perry is building something right now.
