Founded in the UK in 2008, The Quietus is one of the world’s leading independent websites for quality longform writing on visionary and modernist music and culture, covering all genres with an equal weighting.

The Quietus treats the emerging artists of the genre-melting present with the same reverence the mainstream reserves for the stale canon of yesteryear. We look to reappraise and revitalise those artistic pioneers abandoned in the hinterland.

We champion trailblazing and illuminating cultural journalism from around the world – numerous successful writers and broadcasters are first published on our pages.

After years held back by a creaking old website, The Quietus (tQ to our friends) has been regenerated, providing an indispensable portal to a realm of cultural discovery, devilment and debate.

“The Quietus believes in the power of cultural criticism to cut through the noise of social media and the ultimately disappointing guidance of tech platform algorithms. To write down a series of words that have never been combined before, expressing a complex series of emotions, thoughts and experiences that unites writer and reader at a level that feels telepathic and changes the joint experience of reality: That is the definition of magic.” – tQ Co-founder John Doran.

Hello I'm Mark E Pitt. I am a Musician based in Bristol. 

I started playing instruments and DJing from young age, music fascinated me as did my record player and my mostly inherited collection of old vinyl. This is why I am so eclectic, I was listening to whatever fell into my collection. 70's heavy metal and disco, 60's soul and pop one hit wonders. 

As I got older I started to get more contemporary music, at the same time my interest in playing music via the guitar and other instruments also developed. Soon I started to hear about people playing records (DJs) as an instrument and that intrigued me, soon I was actually experimenting with scratching on my old Fidelity player with the auto-load arm getting in the way! Soon I was to discover house music and started getting little gigs and occasional mates parties, Chicago and Deep house really got me in those early years progressing onto more funkier sounds and mixing in indie, electronica and rock. 

I still play in bands  and instruments such as the bass, guitar, keyboards and drums but I keep my DJ hand in trying to keep up with new technology and new sounds. I still have that spark for new music that I had when I was younger, I still love old music too but new things excite me and my ears are always pricking up when something fresh and interesting comes along.

We go into a room and fill it with sound.

We mostly use electronic instruments both analogue and digital along with live drums but we dont restrict oursleves.

We are interested in new and shifting soundscapes, most performances are improvised. We like give unique performances for our audience.

We have built some of our own instruments like guitar-theremin hybrid and electrified melodica.

We use Jen SX1000, Korg MicroKorg, Arturia MiniBrute, Akai MPC2000, Ashdown Envelope Filter, Alesis SR16, Novation KSR, Waldorf Blofeld, Korg Monotron, Yamaha DX21, Electric Guitar with Micro Theremin modification, Behringer BSY600, Jim Dunlop Crybaby, Korg NanoKey, Hohner Melodica modified with piezo pickups, Electro Harmonix Big Muff to make our music.

Let's start with a bit about ourselves. We published an audio/magazine called Sequences for nearly twenty years and at the beginning of 2012 started podcasting on iTunes & more recently on Mixcloud & Soundcloud.  We publish two editions each month,  approx 3hrs in length.
I have been in Electronic music for over 50 years now, from the early experimental sounds of Karl Heinz Stockhausen, the German scene in the 70s with Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Robert Schroeder, etc through to some of the more modern, trance, chill-out, ambient music, although we stay away from techno, house, dance and the more pop-orientated stuff. 
Why not join our group page on Facebook with nearly 4600 members.
If you are a musician/label interested in having some of your music previewed on our podcasts and to a global audience, do get in touch.
