Mini Bio

Decomposure is Caleb Mueller, a 24-year-old Canadian guy from the barren prairies of Saskatchewan, although he's spent quite a bit of time in Ontario at this point and should probably concede that he's stuck there, at least for now. He completed two albums on the Unschooled Label, 2004's ‘Taking Things Apart' and 2005's ‘At Home and Unaffected,' before moving on to 2007's ‘Vertical Lines A' on Blank Squirrel. He currently works full-time as a graphic artist in Elmira, Ontario, but spends the remainder of his days chipping away at his own music and art. He lives with his wife, Nicole, and their bunny, Bunny. And here's some quotes about old albums that make him sound even gooder:

'A polished and original listen which excites time and time again. Consistently diverse and a genuine talent for sequencing & production skills. Immensely satisfying with unbeatable results.' — CMJ New Music

'This collection of songs left me blinded by its musicality on my first listen and I simply can't put the CD back into its little plastic tray until I've dissected every element within. This may take a very long while but you'll want to try it as well! I am simply overwhelmed and in awe of the arrangements that Decomposure offers us, beautifully manipulated sounds and lyrically lovely sometimes distant vocals which do urge the listener to want to sing along. This collection of music is unlike most electronic music you will find out in the modern world today. It is full of surprises and passages that keep us listening with full intent. For anyone interested in the melding of genres or the unclassifiable this album is highly recommended - well worth your money and your FULL attention.' — Modsquare

'At first the skittering beats and cut-n-paste sampling of 'Whose Side Are You On?' are disorienting, but once the jaw-dropping genius of Mueller's hi-tech lo-fi approach sinks in, you wonder why all music doesn't sound this brilliant?' - Chart Attack

'I can’t help but think he probably used to be the nerdy kid carrying an instrument case in one arm and a big stack of textbooks in his other one that used to get the crap kicked out of him in high school.' - Blogcritics.org
