Prefuse 73 (Guillermo Scott Herren), is a hip-hop and electronic producer/artist, currently based out of Barcelona and signed to Warp Records.
Herren releases his music under various aliases, most notably Prefuse 73, Delarosa and Asora, Piano Overlord and Ahmad Szabo. He also performs with Eva Puyuelo Muns in a duo known as Savath & Savalas.
He began his career DJing at MJQ, a small night club in Atlanta, and then began working in commercial studios but soon branched out into his own music. Herren’s first major release was under the “Delarosa and Asora” moniker in 1997 with “Sleep Method Suite”, with his latest work currently being the Prefuse 73 full-length album, “Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian”.
In 2000, Herren released a CD/LP on Hefty Records/Warp Records titled “Folk Songs For Trains, Trees, And Honey”. This was followed by a 2001 exclusive limited pressing (700 copies) of “Immediate Action #1 LP” on Hefty.
Herren first released music under the “Prefuse 73” moniker with 2001’s commercially and critically successful “Vocal Studies & Uprock Narratives”. In 2002 the 4-track EP “The 92 Vs. 02 Collection” was released, but this merely bridged the gap between his debut and the 2003 release - another full-length album, “One Word Extinguisher”. A collection of outtakes, “Extinguished” was released after “One Word Extinguisher” showing off some of the production that was omitted from the initial full-length.

Indeed he has the tendency to come out with quality releases in total succession. The same can't be said about too many artists, I mean, even Bibio/Clark/FlyLo have some pretty throwaway tracks scattered in a majority of their LPs. I mean, yeah they're very talented artists and I admire them, but nobody puts out albums comprised of nothing but memorable tracks like Prefuse does. /rant

I can honestly say that at this point in time, no one in electronic music who releases albums regularly (Aphex and BoC, I'm looking at you) can match with this guy. I talked with him at one of his shows and I could barely talk to him for 5 min, I was in awe. lol

He used an MPC and some hardware effects for One Word Extinguisher, truth be told I doubt he uses software for much of anything, unlike Flying Lotus who used to do nothing BUT work with his laptop. Not that I prefer one over the other, of course. Anybody have an idea if Prefuse has something new coming up? I figure I'm asking a little bit too soon after his last release, but it's worth pondering.

from everything I've read, he pretty much doesn't use software or computers at all. mostly samplers and instruments
