Composing by Reaction: A Studio & Stage Conversation with deep glens

Howdy, dadageeks 💙

We're thrilled to offer a rare opportunity: a behind-the-scenes discussion with Brett Bullion, the producer and electronic artist behind deep glens. Brett will open up his personal live setup and talk through how it shapes his sound in the studio and on stage. It's a hybrid artist talk and open hang, shaped by discussion with the room.

And don't miss deep glens performing LIVE at dadaLab along with local talent SV1, Provider, and GyZa on Saturday, September 12! Info and tickets here: https://events.humanitix.com/dadageek-presents-deep-glens-provider-sv1-gyza

What is this workshop about?

Expect a casual conversation about how Brett approaches his live setup, including:

• Letting a system react on its own instead of composing note by note

• Running loopers free, without keeping them in sync

• Using modulation to drive a set instead of a traditional sequencer

• How years of building his own tools has shaped his sound

Who is this workshop for?

• Electronic musicians of all skill levels

• Live performers and improvisers interested in reactive setups

• Sound designers and producers interested in studio workflow

• Anyone curious about deep glens' music or process

No technical background is required, just curiosity.

What to expect:

An in-person, conversational session at dadaLab, including:

• Live demonstration of Brett's personal setup

• Interactive Q&A throughout

• Discussion of creative process and the ideas behind it

Class size is limited to keep the session intimate.

About the Artist:

deep glens

deep glens is the electronic music project of producer and mixing/recording engineer Brett Bullion. As an engineer, he has worked across genres with artists such as Low, Samia, Hippo Campus, Margaret Glaspy, Bad Bad Hats, The Bad Plus, Your Smith, and Craig Taborn. deep glens is a return to Bullion’s early roots in experimental electronic music and draws on formative influences such as Warp, Mego, Chain Reaction, and Touch, and blends these reference points with his extensive studio experience. The debut album “earn grips" was constructed from improvisations using custom-built software environments, which later evolved into a live set which was recorded in Chicago and released as “LIVE 2023-07-28.” Autechre, the legendary Warp Records duo, featured both tracks from this performance during their BBC 6 Music artist residency in December 2024 and subsequently invited Bullion to join them on four dates of their 2025 North American tour.
