Behavior is one of several projects fronted by
producer/composer Michael A. McCann. The debut LP,
"The Story of the Mechanical Man" (2001) is a sonic
tour de force which showcases a full range of
electronic music. From jazz-fusion to trip-hop and
trance, the album is a rich mélange of sounds,
textures and moods. "The Story of the Mechanical Man"
represents a dynamic fusion of analog and digital,
electric and acoustic, human and mechanical. The
result of Behavior's experimentation is a complex and
unique musical experience.

Behavior's frontman/mastermind Michael McCann wrote
and produced "The Story of the Mechanical Man" as a
concept album. The LP features several collaborations
with Andrea Revel and samples from the Cowboy Junkies
and David Axelrod. In addition to fronting Behavior,
McCann is also behind musical alter-ego Suture, and
produced Andrea Revel's latest release "Citysong".
With the combined successes of Behavior and Suture,
Michael McCann has acquired an impressive resumé.
McCann is also well known for his work as sound
designer on the films of Michael Dowse, including the
2002 cult hit "FUBAR."

Behavior's high energy debut has garnered much
attention since its initial 2001 release. Album
tracks have appeared on compilations from Kenwood
Audio USA (2001) and more recently, California based
label "Electric Monkey". In addition, music from "The
Story of the Mechanical Man" was featured in Michael
Dowse's award winning film "Room 237," Alliance
Atlantis's television drama "The Associates", and the
"Law of Enclosures" (2000) feature film promotional
trailer starring Sarah Polley. Behavior tracks can
also be heard on SportNet's free-ride, extreme bike
series "Drop In," which is broadcast weekly and is
available on DVD. Behavior titles have proven
successful on the charts as well, reaching the top 5
on CBC's New Music Canada's Electronic, House and
Ambient charts; in addition to online charts
VitaminiC, Garageband, RadioAid, Maddhouz Radio,
MP3.Com, IUMA, and Raw42.
