Devin Sarno began CRIB in early 1990 as a solo bass sound project focusing on improvised subsonics. Over the course of a decade, the music has evolved from high volume feedback experimentation to a sonic examination of the meditative properties of low-end drone music. (In 2003, the CRIB moniker was retired & Sarno now performs & records under his own name). Sarno was a founding member of the seminal L.A. art rock band Waldo The Dog Faced Boy. As a bassist, Sarno has collaborated/recorded with many diverse acts including: Nels Cline, Thurston Moore, Joe Baiza, Mike Watt, Jack Brewer, Z’EV, Jason Kahn, Petra Haden, that dog, Abby Travis, Danny Frankel, Jeff Gauthier, Tom Surgal, Upsilon Acrux, Carla Bozulich, Brandon LaBelle, Vincent Gallo and others.
