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.

Inspired by nearly forgotten Welsh melodies and the brilliant music of the 60s folk revival, The Gentle Good is the work of Cardiff based folk singin’ finger-picker Gareth Bonello. Singing in both English and Welsh Gareth weaves dark folk tales around an intricate guitar style and a haunting voice to create beautiful modern folk music tinted with psychadelia.

A captivating live performer Gareth can enchant an audience with just a guitar, and has played to audiences at home and abroad at festivals such as Glastonbury, Latitude, The Green Man, End of the Road, The Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Lorient Interceltique and South by Southwest.

The Second album 'Tethered for the Storm' has already begun to stir up interest ahead of its release this March. Previous release 'While you slept I went out Walking' saw comparisons with the music of Nick Drake, Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, John Martyn and Donovan by the likes of Mojo and the Guardian.

Praise for Tethered for the Storm:

“Folk Beauty”  - Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1)
