John McEntire

Multi-instrumentalist, engineer, and mixer born in Portland (OR, USA) on the 9th of April 1970. He's now living in Chicago (IL, USA). His first instrument was the drums. He did a percussion major at Oberlin College (OH, USA) in 1987 and later Technology in Music and Related Arts at the same school. In 1988 he joined his first band [a311148] but left in 1989 to join [a=Bastro]. In 1991 he relocated to Chicago (IL, USA) together with [a=David Grubbs], another core member of [a=Bastro], where they renamed the band to [a=Gastr Del Sol] after some changes in the line-up of the band. After the debut of [a=Gastr Del Sol] the band became more of a collaboration with [a=David Grubbs] and [a=Jim O'Rourke]. He then shifted focus to his band Mosquito (founded in 1989) which was renamed to [a=Tortoise] in 1993. In 1998 [a=Gastr Del Sol] came to an end. In 1993 he also founded [a50982]. From the mid-nineties he started to do more engineering work while working with bands like [a=Stereolab], [a=Eleventh Dream Day] and [a=Trans Am (2)]. He built his own studio [l269529] (Chicago, IL, USA). In 1999 he also started to compose film music.
