Grammy award-winning artist and former longtime Nine Inch Nails drummer/programmer Chris Vrenna is a multi-faceted musical genius - a rare talent whose artistic prowess easily ranges from onstage performance to studio wizardry. In addition to eight years with NIN and studio collaborations with Marilyn Manson and Smashing Pumpkins, Vrenna's production and remixing credits including U2's "Elevation Remix" for the Tomb Raider soundtrack in addition to work for Xzibit featuring Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Nelly Furtado, Weezer, Cold and Rob Zombie, among many others.

As evidenced by his first full-length album, The Attraction To All Things Uncertain (created by his tweaker alter-ego), he also possesses an uncanny knack for working full-circle, for crossing boundaries and genres, for creating art out of nothing but an idea and a feeling
