He was a member of Big Black, Rapeman and Flour, and is a member of Shellac. He is the founder, owner and principal engineer of Electrical Audio, a recording studio complex located in Chicago. In March 2004, Albini said that the number of albums he had worked on was "probably as many as 1500." ==Early life== Albini was born in Pasadena, California to Gina (née Martinelli) and Frank Addison Albini. His father is a wildlife researcher. He also has two siblings.〔 In his youth, Albini's family moved often, before settling in the college town of Missoula, Montana in 1974. Albini is Italian American and part of his family comes from the Piedmont region of Northern Italy.〔 While recovering from a broken leg, Albini began playing bass guitar and participated in bass lessons in high school for one week. According to Thrill Jockey's ''Looking for a Thrill'', Albini was exposed to punk rock by a schoolmate on a field trip when he was 14 or 15, and subsequently bought every Ramones recording available to him.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thrilljockey.com/thrill/Various/Looking-for-a-Thrill-An-Anthology-of-Inspiration#.UtDBdWRDs1M )〕 Growing up in Montana, he became a fan of bands such as The Stooges, the Ramones, Television, Suicide, Wire, The Fall, The Velvet Underground, Throbbing Gristle, Kraftwerk, The Birthday Party, Pere Ubu, Public Image Ltd, Rudimentary Peni, and Killing Joke. After graduating from Hellgate High School,〔 Albini moved to Evanston, Illinois, to attend college at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University (NU), where he attained a degree in Journalism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.electricalaudio.com/staff.php )〕 Albini said he studied painting in college with the late Ed Paschke, someone he calls a brilliant educator and "one of the only people in college who actually taught me anything." In the Chicago area, Albini was active as a writer in local zines such as ''Matter'', covering the then-nascent punk rock scene, and gained a reputation for the iconoclastic nature of his articles. Around the same time, he began recording musicians and engineered his first album in 1981.〔 According to Albini, he maintained a "straight job" for five years until 1987, working in a photography studio as a photograph retouch artist.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steve Albini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
