I have been a performance artist since 1971 performing as one of the Kipper Kids until 2003.
I have also worked as a solo performance artist collaborating and appearing with Karen Finley, Henry Rollins, Public Image, Genesis P. Orridge, Sex Pistols, Joanna Went, Eric Bogosian, Anne Bean, Bow Gamelan, Lol Coxhill, Paul Burwell, Evan Parker, Derek Bailey and Ian Hinchcliffe among others. 
I currently live in Leicester in the UK and make soundworks and movies.
My digital movies have been presented at the Royal Academy in London-https://vimeo.com/brianrouth and my sound works on BBC radio and at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.

The Kipper Kids have been involved in writing and starring in three projects for HBO and Cinemax and appeared in a number of movies.

Recently I have collaborated with digital artist Patricia Routh on soundtracks for Patricia's animations and video works-https://vimeo.com/channels/wells

I am also working on my soundscapes for my poetry and songs plus instrumental music and sound-works that incorporate vocal soundbites of world leaders, politicians, madmen, poets, rebels, murderers and others. As well as soundtracks for my own low budget movies and musical video poems.

THE GLOW OF STREETLIGHTS
EMCEE/PRODUCER/AUDIO ENGINEER

This project has been active for 10+ years. This is a solo project but many of my beats come from a large variety of producers (see "Produced by ____" in song paranthese) from all over the globe. Sometimes I also produce or co-produce (see older material). I've played 500+ shows. I have vinyl and cassette tapes available for sale on my merch page. I beat box. I freestyle. I rap battle. I'm also a promoter and book shows. Just reach out. Networking is key. Thankyou to everyone who has listened.  Shoutouts to everyone who has ever supported this project.
