Dev/Null started out working on computer music tunes in 1998-1999 while playing drums in various bands. He was influenced by labels like Ambush, Praxis, Sounds Never Seen and ACV, plus extreme underground grindcore/death metal/crust/etc. Progress was extremely slow for the first 3-4 years due to other obligations (band,school). After moving back to Boston in 2002, he started to concentrate more on making electronic music, and released split EPs on Sprengstoff Records (Germany) and Omeko Records (Japan)
