Biography taken from this link

David Thrussell is perhaps best known as Australian electronic music's quietest over-achiever. As Snog, or in other guises as Soma (with Pieter Bourke of Dead Can Dance) or Black Lung, he has gained an international cult reputation for innovation in electronic/cinematic/sound-scapes and numerous releases have invaded electronic/alternative charts in the Germany, France and the U.S.A. An intensive touring schedule has included in recent times headline dates in New York, San Francisco, and Rome, and the premier spot on "Le Musique des Ultimates" a three day festival of electronic and experimental music in France. During the past decade, Thrussell has also carved himself an enviable niche as a DJ, rising first to turntable prominence at the infamous Hellfire Club in Melbourne and Sydney, and then to regular engagements at the Rex and Le Gibus (Paris), Farenheit (New York City), and Forte Prenestino (Rome) amongst many others. Thrussell DJed at the Fuck Parade (Berlin) in July of 2001. Somehow in between over 400 DJ and live performances, Thrussell has held down his startling and innovative radio program, "Rude Mechanical," on Melbourne's PBSFM for over ten years. After having numerous film placements both in Australia and internationally, Thrussell completed his first major motion picture score "Angst", released by United International Pictures in August of 2000 (winning best film score at "If Awards" and nominated for Australian Guild of Screen Composers Best Feature score). Further projects included a remix of U.K. techno legend Aphex Twin, an album of spoken word/soundscape material, and further feature film scores including "The Hard Word" (starring Guy Pearce and Rachel Griffiths) with numerous other film scores in the pipeline.
