Chris Douglas
Chris Douglas (born 4 August 1974), nicknamed pseudonym O.S.T.,
is an electronic musician from San Francisco, California.
Chris Douglas' life has been a series of trials and confrontations
where facts bore no truth and the present resides outside his
creative musical energies. Douglas, an only child raised by his
Grandparents, spent most of his childhood in the Bay Area,
skateboarding, attending boarding school and learning among other
things, to play the piano and keyboard. Not to be confused with Ost.
Introduced to the all-night- rave party scene in 1990, he was
entranced and constantly around all this new music/new experiences."
Started to d.j.and making tracks throwing parties, was responsible
with his crew for the first all Techno/Ambient parties in S.F. at
the time when the city was dominated by house and disco. At the age
of 17, Douglas left for Detroit to find creative freedom- While
there he pleasantly crossing paths and working with his heroes Mike
Banks and the late James Stinson of Drexciya and the fabled
Underground Resistance Records.
Douglas recorded his first EP
for Detroit-based Switch Records in 1992 under the name O.S.T. – the
source of which he won't readily reveal to anyone. The release
provoked one critic to assert, "Just about anything that would
connect with house is abandoned here. This is one of the futures of
techno", and prompted another reviewer to say, "10/10 a work of art
and a piece of history". Generator Magazine, London.
Was
invited by Autechre to perform at the edition of the All Tomorrow's
Parties festival they curated in April 2003.
