BLUE SAUSAGE INFANT is the work of Chester Hawkins of Washington DC. Since 1986, BSI has produced music that combines aspects of noise, drone, krautrock, sample-plundering, dark ambient, and kosmische electronica to produce a multi-layered feast for the brain. In 2008, BSI shifted focus from the studio to live performances, often combining costumes, lights, and films to enhance the experience.

Hawkins describes his music as "mean-spirited euphoria," a complex blend of pastoral psychedelia with paranoid tension, and the occasional indulgence in squalling sonic rage. Blue Sausage Infant's latest album, "Negative Space" was released in April 2011 by Zeromoon on heavyweight colored vinyl, and has been praised as a masterpiece of unique head music.
