Fred Giannelli

Fred Giannelli (born 1960 in Lowell, Massachusetts) is an American electronic musician.[1] He began experimenting with electronics[2] in the 1970s as Turning Shrines.[3][4] In 1984, Giannelli met Psychic TV's Genesis P. Orridge[5] while the group was in Boston for a gig.[6] This led to Giannelli eventually travelling to London to join the band in 1988, arriving just in time for the Acid House craze.[7] He then left Psychic TV[8] for the Plus 8 label, working with Detroit DJ and producer Richie Hawtin as Spawn. Continuing under the Plus 8, he formed the Telepathic label[9] for his own industrial/techno recordings as the Acid Didj, Giannelli, Deneuve and Mazdaratti.[1] The 1990s saw him release a number of records, including 1997's Unpopular Science under the alias of the Kooky Scientist.[10]

Past projects and aliases include the Kooky Scientist, Acid Didj,[11] The Kinky Scientist, Deneuve, The Kranky Scientist,[12] Mazdaratti, PTV, Sickmob,[13] Splerge, Fred vom Jupiter, Fred vs. Fred, Fred Ex, Spawn (with Richie Hawtin and Daniel Bell)[14] and Turning Shrines.
