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.

Eiderdown Brick is an indie recording project of songwriter James Medd (vocals, guitars, keys) featuring multi-instrumentalist Brian Taguchi (guitars, bass, percussion).

I am a dad of two, husband of one, teacher of languages and complete amateur hobbyist musician/producer. I play guitar, drums and keys, and make music on a Pro-Tools rig at home. If you want to ever do a colab, send me a message on Facebook! :) Thanks for taking the time to check me out!

Here are many of them:- Sigur Ros,Jonsi, Mogwai, Explosions in the sky, Godspeed You! Black Emprer, Aphex Twin, The Black Dog, Tycho, Jon Hopkins, Brian Eno, FC Kahuna, Yeasayer, Darshan Ambient, Jon Brion, Lou Reed, Angels & Airwaves, AFI, Paramore, Nightwish, Serj Tankian, A7X, Transplants, Rancid, Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, Blondie, Dario G, College, Electric Youth, The XX, John WIlliams, Underworld, PPK, Tom Waits, Moulettes, of Monsters and Men, Driftless Pony Club
