Constant Flux (Doug Rimerman) is known throughout the Los Angeles electronic music scene as a local pioneer of experimental/breakbeat composition and audio/visual performance alongside longtime visual artist collaborator Lovemushroom (Yo Suzuki) and more recently FOC:EYE (Ren Yoneyama).

Rimerman's fascination with sound synthesis began at the age of seven, when his elementary school music teacher brought a Moog Sonic Six education synthesizer to his music class. From that day on, he dreamed of creating unique sounds with electronic synthesis technology and eventually electronic music. It wasn't until the age of 18 in 1987 that Rimerman began writing experimental/industrial electronic music while studying classical piano.

After spending eight years developing his own style and approach to sound synthesis and composition and his second of many eventual visits to the U.K. and Europe to discover and be influenced by new forms of electronic music, he launched his Constant Flux audio/visual project in 1995. His new artist incarnation was developed specifically to marry experimental electronic music with tightly integrated, abstract motion graphics. The Constant Flux artist moniker was adopted in consideration of magnetic fields of flux as well as the idea from physics of matter being in a continual state of flux. Flux is also a component of solder used in the manufacturing process of electronic circuits and is a term used for the production of records.

In 2001, Constant Flux was introduced to motion visual artist Lovemushroom (Yo Suzuki) and together they began headlining at venues and art events such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (October 2001, an evening that featured the LA Philharmonic's Esa-Pekka Salonen; November 2001 with KCRW's Jason Bentley); Knitting Factory; The Echo; and Nacional (with Plankton Man of the Nortec Collective and KCRW's Raul Campos). They were also called upon to present an unprecedented, large-scale, multi-screen, 3D audio/visual concert in February 2005 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, LA to kick off the internationally acclaimed Visual Music exhibition.

The music of Constant Flux has been aired on radio stations across the globe including KCRW, Indie 103.1, KXLU, Power 106, KUCI, and KSPC in the Los Angeles region. It has also been heard regularly on National Public Radio.

In 2002, Constant Flux signed to Run Recordings (a division of Lakeshore Motion Pictures) to release his album All Things Change. The album was released August 2002, about the same time that Run launched the massively successful Meat Beat Manifesto comeback album RUOK.
