Encryption prescription.

Encrypter is a hardware-focused composer and producer of electronic music. He has been obsessed with texture and processing recorded sound since he was a teenager, capturing field recordings on a Sony Walkman as fodder for creating garbled noisescapes through cheap guitar effects. Since these early days, he has released ambient, downtempo, industrial hardcore, glitched-up jungle, splittercore and a variety of takes on techno through his original works and remixes for the likes of Myler, Diarmaid O Meara and Weever among others. As a result of two burglaries and a stubborn refusal to back up his work, he has restarted his entire creative practice twice in a decade which has led to his current focus on creation with a sense of immediacy. This is helped along by various dusty pieces of hardware used alongside unusual production techniques such as balanced feedback environments and generative approaches. 

Originally from Ireland, now based in Melbourne, Encrypter splits his time between composition, production, DJing, running the SEQARP record label (hardware focused techno and electro) and the Rhythmic Shift nights (breakbeat and atmospheric techno and electro), teaching himself TouchDesigner, lecturing in electronic music production and trying to fit in a lot of coffee and beers with friends in between.
