		Chris Vrenna’s home studio is a place where many things happen— games, records, film scores —you name it.
		Vrenna played a jazz kit and recorded the drums in his drum room, which is just slightly more than arm’s length from his Pro Tools-rigged studio.
		Vrenna attests that his favorite instrument of all time is the glokenspiel, which not so coincidentally shows up on two songs.

	Oregon Music Guide - Volume II, Number 11 - Tweaker
		As one of the original members of Nine Inch Nails, Vrenna saw more than his fair share of tour busses but, since leaving the group in 1996, he’s spent his time holed up in the studio as a sought after producer, engineer, mixer and programer and away from the concert halls.
		While some yearn for the spotlight and see the spent in the studio as a precursor to a tour, Vrenna admits that he’s more content to contribute to albums from the shadows and says that the road and the band lifestyle are things that he doesn’t particularly desire.
		In conversation, Vrenna makes various references to NIN because it was a vital part of his history but he never moves his comments into negative territory and never mentions his former high school friend, Trent Reznor, by name.

	[No title]
		Chris Vrenna has been a prominent figure in alternative music since he began hammering drums and programming beats with Nine Inch Nails.
		In moments grabbed between freelance projects, or in long late-night stretches with only Elliott as his witness, Vrenna assembled a compelling sequence of pieces, bristling with electronic effects, swampy slide guitar, and stadium-sized slammin' beats that alternate with moments of intimate introspection.
		Each note plays a role in Vrenna's grand plan to tell the story of Elliott, a kind of lost Everyman, whose life, if everything works out, will lead not to triumph, but to a kind of resolution born from resignation and acceptance.

		Chris: You know, it's kind of like you get to join the band for a limited amount of time when you are producing.
		Chris: There really is. I'm not sure why, maybe it is the Internet, maybe it is 900 channels of satellite dish that everyone has--every house on my block has one of those RCA satellite dishes on the roof.
