Originally a member of various indie rock projects, a passing interest in electronic music soon became a passion, and by 1999 Morgan was performing regularly as Rusuden. Together with some friends, Morgan founded the Fu Man Chaw imprint, and began issuing CDRs like Use With Joystick Controller (2000) and Thinking the Cloud (2001). Eventually his mixture of glitchy IDM and post-rock texture caught the attention of Cincinnati electronica imprint Sonicterror, which issued the Parcinx Mind 12" in 2002. A brief tour of the East Coast and Canada followed, and the full-length Formulae dropped in August of the following year. ~ Johnny Loftus
