Born in Philadelphia, Glenn-Copeland studied at McGill University in Montreal and has resided in Canada for over four decades. Over that time, he's been responsible for a few albums of hushed, folky jazz. The 1986 cassette, Copeland Keyboard Fantasies, caught the ears of Invisible City, AKA Brandon Hocura and Gary Abugan, as Glenn-Copeland recorded it solely using a Yamaha DX7 and Roland TR-707 for a sound that "lies somewhere between digital new-age and (accidentally) early Detroit techno experiments," according to their press release.
