Pinkle - Bryn Martin Though busy working on his post‐doc at the Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland, Bryn Martin’s after‐ hours musical alias ‘Pinkle’ is making a debut at last. Martin’s first official release, Invertible (Sept. 2009), is the culmination of nearly five years of DIY songwriting. Martin’s musical career began as the lead guitarist in Chicago based rock band Ophur. The band toured extensively in the Midwest from 1998‐2003, performing alongside well‐known artists including The Plain White T’s, Violent Femmes, Veruca Salt, Sum 41, and Local H. Eventually disillusioned with the commercial makeover of the outfit, Martin went solo, and ‘Pinkle’ was born. Martin’s music holds fast to an exclusively artistic ethos far removed from commercial influences. Under a strictly DIY mantra, Martin crafts each song in a day or two from his makeshift living room studio tinkering with his hodgepodge collection of instruments to make simple, memorable melodies. Focusing solely on songwriting since 2004, Martin has self‐produced more than two hundred songs, all of which he offers free of charge online (www.pinklemusic.com). To date, the site has received over 4.6 million hits and each month garners more than 100’000 song downloads. homebrew.
