Rhian Sheehan

Rhian Sheehan went from being a music student concocting computer-based tracks in his bedroom to charting new territory for New Zealand electronica with 2001 album Paradigm Shift. Several tracks appeared on international compilations, including Café del Mar Vol 10. Three albums have since followed, including 2009's 14-part soundscape voyage Standing in Silence. In a five star Dominion Post review Tom Cardy said Silence's instrumental atmospherics were, "spine tingling ... a tsunami of sound. Sheehan, take a bow, you've nailed it."
