About:

an Boddy has been composing & performing Electronic Music since the late 1970’s. Having fallen in love with the sound-worlds of German electronic bands such as Tangerine Dream, he came across an arts centre that housed a studio filled with reel-to-reel tape machines and analogue synthesisers. He very quickly started performing concerts & releasing three cassette albums in the early 1980’s followed by a further three vinyl albums.

By the 1990’s he was regularly releasing music on CD as well as performing both in the UK & on the continent. He also developed further musical strands of activity with his sound design work releasing a series of critically acclaimed sample sound libraries & virtual instruments as well as composing an impressive roster of library music tracks, most notably for DeWolfe.

In 1999 he set up the DiN ambient electronica label which sees it’s 20th anniversary this year. There has been over 80 releases on this label with contributions from an international roster of artists such as Robert Rich, Bluetech, Node, Markus Reuter, Tetsu Inoue, Chris Carter, Erik Wøllo etc. Boddy has recently expanded the reach of DiN with the release of the two volumes of Tone Science which are albums focusing in on artists performing music on modular synth systems.

About:

Art Electronix is a Ukrainian electronic project by two sound producer (Katerina and Yevgeny) from the city of Krivoy Rog, combined with interest in various stylistic genres, ranging from dance music in acid, techno and drum&bass styles, to minimalist audio spaces of ambient pastorals or even interdimensional cosmic noise.

When creating their audio paintings musicians trying to convey images of industrial landscapes of the city. Their music have a retro-futuristic sound that can be described as a journey into the depths of minimalism, analog overdrive and electrical digital clicks, howl and crunch of high voltage capacitors, sometimes turning into mechanically drum machine dance beat, and then returning back to the sound of a loose vacuum ambient.

Art Electronix's activity connected with music programming, constant search of original sounding, development of art performances and live concerts, experimental quality music production, and many other art forms.

While producing cross-genre music for 10 years, the project amassed a decent discography totaling up to 100 hours of music, was published on several physical media, took part in creating several soundtracks for independent films and held many local local events.

About:

Lauren Sarah Hayes is a Scottish musician and sound artist who builds and performs with hybrid analogue/digital instruments. She is a “positively ferocious improvisor” (Cycling ‘74), her music refusing to sit nicely between free improv, experimental pop, techno, and noise. Over the last decade she has developed and honed a deliberately challenging and unpredictable performance system that explores the relationships between bodies, sound, environments, and technology. The Wire described her most recent album MANIPULATION (pan y rosas discos) as “skittering melodies and clip-clopping rhythms suggesting a mischievous intelligence emerging from this web of wires”. She is a member of the New BBC Radiophonic Workshop and currently lives in Arizona where she teaches electronic music.

About:

Swiss born and LA based Olivier B. Egli aka Sir Archibald Palmer aka Nundale has been involved in electronic music since his early teens. Fascinated by the darker tunes of industrial and electronic body music as well as the rolling punch of early 90s hiphop, he went on to produce beats for Swiss and German acts and released his first EP at the age of 15. In his tracks he seeks to live out his passion for meticulously constructed and micro edited beats (some of which he plays live), processed snares, ratcheting hi hats, twisted breakbeats and unexpected chord progressions. The trained drummer and pianist focusses his musical energy on creating bridges between beat exploration and harmonic research without giving neither one priority but rather finding a haunting balance that moves the body as much as the mind and projects mental pictures strong enough to feel the music rather than just hearing it.

Since 2009, Proud/Father has been the main recording project of Shining Fields. Based in New Orleans, Proud/Father combines droning ambient textures pulled from field recordings, manipulated samples, guitar loops, and processed synthesizers to create a sprawling soundscape of fading memories housed in cassettes. He performs regularly in New Orleans and is in the process of planning his 5th U.S tour, hopefully bringing his music closer to you.

This hour of audio features a mix of brand new recordings, live excerpts, and tracks taken from incomplete albums and sketches, from which Proud/Father regularly pulls from. Everything Many thanks to Emma K. for playing guitar on segment 3.

A music producer and diy nerd fiddling around with knobs and modular patches. Although she is a padawan her music comes from the dark side. It is moody and thumping.

Her first steps were using software. Soon she started combining it with hardware, then modular. Her set up is constantly changing. Currently she mixes modular with stand -alone synthesizers, passing them through fx modules in her eurorack to add 'that warm effect’.

Her journey began in 2014 when she co-founded an electronic music production school called Beatlabs.

Somewhere along the way she discovered Befaco’s modular system. It was here she discovered her true passion… building synthesizers. She started building her own eurorack system, and eventually ended up working for Befaco.

Since then she has worked for other manufacturers such as Winter Modular, Error Instruments, and Koma Elektronik. Currently she is working at Patch Point.

Flavia believes that modular has changed her perception and production of music, however the one thing that hasn’t changed is that her system keeps growing.

Gear: Befaco, Koma Elektronik, Korg, Elektron.
