Escape Mechanism is Minneapolis based collage artist Jonathan Nelson. Using fragments of sound from the film reels, radios, television sets and record releases which make up our often overpowering media environment, Escape Mechanism is an experiment in recycled media.

The self-titled debut release by Escape Mechanism was released in 1998, and there are more on the way. Since releasing the first CD, EM has kept busy with live performances, a radio program (Some Assembly Required), and many other projects.
