Arthur Andrews has played in various ensembles at the University of
Virginia and Princeton University, however his formal musical education
comes from a number of rock shows in the basements and firehouses of New
Jersey from 1997-2003. Inspirations for this solo guitar performance
include Alan Licht, Peter Brötzmann, Black Flag, the theme song to the
"The Mary Tyler Moore Show," and the John Byrne run on Fantastic Four.
Nodding to such genre influences as booty-bass, noise, free-jazz, glitchcore, and rap, Greenlee (seg) explores expressivity through the gestural control of digital systems for live, improvisational performance. Utilizing self-designed software, Greenlee creates a frenzied machine/human enagement, centered on the storage, retrieval, and reinterpretation of musical memory.
Greenlee received an MA (2003) from Brown University where he is currently a doctoral student studying the fields of Computer Music and New Media. His dissertation will focus on performance methodologies in computer-centered sonic contexts. Other education includes a BFA in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design (1996).
For over a decade Greenlee has been heavily influential in Providence's "panic-rock/new-no-wave scene". He is best known for his solo electronic music performances under the pseudonym Pleasurehorse, as well as for founding the group, Landed, with Dan St. Jacques and Joel Kyack in 1997. Greenlee's peers, include electronic-kin (Forcefield, Mystery Brinkman) as well as like-minded rock outfits (Lightning Bolt, Arab on Radar, Black Dice). In 1999, Greenlee joined the group Six Finger Satellite (Sub Pop Records) and remained the bass guitarist until the band's recent dispersal. He was a member of Fort Thunder, a collective/art space that became an internationally recognized port for countless acts passing through the Northeastern U.S. from its inception in 1995 until its demolition in 2001.
Greenlee has five internationally distributed recordings to date under the name Pleasurehorse. His releases include Bareskinrug (Load Records), Purly Gait/Pearly Gates (History of the Future), Twat Motel (Load Records), Small Purse (Vermiform Records), and Dropdead Deconstructed, REMIX (Load Records). He also has several releases in group and compilation contexts. Most notable of these is Landed's 1998 disc, Everything's Happening (Vermiform Records) and the compilation, The Sights and Sounds of Fort Thunder issued by Japan's Contact Records. He has a forthcoming full length in 2004. Greenlee has completed several tours of the U.S. and performs extensively in Boston, Providence, and New York City.
