*upon some forensics during mixing, I discovered that I made some snapping sounds that made it into A Voice (II). Only after creating what are now known as A Voice (I) and (II) did I consciously decide to constrain myself to my voice for this project. With these tracks being the beginning of the current musical journey I am on, I ultimately decided to respect what the tracks were at the time of their inception. My plan is to create a specific number of ‘A Voice’ pieces before moving on to something else.

A Voice (II)

Check out the tracklist below:


"Not unlike my own experimental works, this cinematic mix ebbs and flows between experimental ambient, reflective film score, and melancholic electronic genres, teasing, taxing, and pleasing the senses over the course of an hour. Many of these works have been sources of either energy, inspiration, or influence, and I hope you might resonate with them as well. The beginning, middle, and ending of this mix include 3 tracks from my “Voice” series, and upcoming album entitled ‘II’. These works were created using only my voice, engineered and contorted within Ableton to create unique and unrecognizable sounds. The voice concept acts as a sonic parallel to the personal narrative underlying the record, as I discuss my experience with bipolar disorder and its relationship to my music. Creating these works has been a therapeutic experience, and I hope they might mean something to you now as well." - Factor Eight

Racing Reflections

Years in the making since meeting at a Vancouver coffee shop in 2014, we (@iainhowiemusic and @factoreight) are excited to finally debut our collaborative entity ‘0110’

Under our new record label with the same title, we see ‘0110’ as a platform with which we can create freely — not needing to fit in one particular box or another — experimenting, taking risks, and putting freedom of expression above all else.

‘0110’ is a love letter to a time when fans would obsessively listen to albums from front to back — deciphering hidden meanings and overarching themes in the music from their favourite artists.

We find inspiration in personal turmoil and triumphs — translating emotional energy into ones and zeroes — finding new pieces of ourselves in the process.

Our debut single ‘Undone’ is available now on all platforms.

Thank you for your support.

Undone

Experimental electronica artist creating music using only my voice, and raising awareness for Bipolar Disorder. 

I hope this music moves you as much as it helped me.
