Plaid (pronounced \ˈplad\) are the London based electronic music duo Andy Turner & Ed Handley. They are two of the founding members of The Black Dog, releasing their first EP in 1989 and signing to Warp Records in 1991. They have used many other pseudonyms including; Atypic, Repeats and Balil, but have focusing on Plaid since 1995. They have released 11 studio albums as Plaid, from 1991's 'Mbuki Mvuki', to 2022's 'Feorm Falorx'. 

Various sources claim they took their name “Plaid” from the Welsh word for “Party”.

I was that kid who enjoyed Revolution #9.  

I used to broadcast a radio station (circa 1976) with my Radio Shack walkie-talkie. The truckers passing by on I-95, would key their CBs and scream, "Hey, kid. Get offa here! It's illegal for you to be playin' music on here!" I'd play two different records at the same time, sending out a mush and web of sound. I called that station, "DOUBLE-U, DOUBLE-U, DOUBLE-U!" 

I'm not a trained musician. I am a collage artist, and I make sound collages on my desktop. Most everything heard is a sample. The samples used have been chopped up, and then fused back together differently, they've been stretched, slowed down, sped up, resampled, effected, reversed, etc. 

Nothing I make is perfect, nor is it desired to be. It's exactly what I wanted to make. It's the discovery along the way, the manipulation of other's work, or my own work, into something altogether new that keeps me at this. 

When I was little, I watched my Grandad care for his roses in the garden. He would prune the leaves, cut off old growth, care for, and tie branches together so they would grow in different directions. The roses were never show-worthy. Some, however, were gorgeous, and smelled divine The smell is time travel for me. 

He wasn't growing them for anybody to enjoy but himself. I enjoyed all the iterations of his garden.

So in his spirit, this is my garden. Listen if you want. I dig feedback, just like (most) everyone else.  Be kind, or be gone. I ain't got time for that.

I look forward to listening to other people's work. send me your way.

DAAC SAINTGREEN aka CaosPreRinascimento aka Davide Carlini from Osimo (Marche , Italy)

Musician, author, filmmaker, photographer, and sound experimenter.

I’ve been creating sound since the early 1990s: my path spans decades of exploration through southern rock, blues, funk, jazz, experimentation, folk, gospel, electronic music, groove, ambient, soul, psychedelia, and cinematic visions.

As a teenager, I founded several original bands devoted almost entirely to unreleased tracks written and arranged by us.

With other groups, I explored rock, funk-rock, and acid jazz (years before acid jazz became a defined genre), reinterpreting songs from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’90s, as well as progressive rock from the ’70s, while studying jazz and blues standards as a form of musical research.

Toward the late ’90s, I began working solo, producing home-studio tracks and improvisations over self-composed MIDI bases, experimenting with analog synthesizers and electronic machines across rock, fusion, jazz, funk, progressive, blues, psychedelia, drum&bass, chill-out, electroacoustic, avant-garde electronic, and ambient music.

From 2000 to 2018, I produced under the name CaosPreRinascimento, an independent project devoted to the esoteric and poetic research of sound and imagery.
In 2014, I composed the soundtrack for my independent film TRATAK, which was screened at several international festivals (New York, Toronto, London, Pune) and won the Black Lion Award at the First Hermetic Film Festival in Venice in 2019.

Since 2022, I have been leading DAAC Music Experience, a musical and visual laboratory intertwining music, cinema, esotericism, and symbolic imagination.

This profile is a living archive of sounds, memories, and visions - a journey between past and future, inside and beyond reality.

DAAC SAINTGREEN aka CaosPreRinascimento aka Davide Carlini , da Osimo (Marche , Italia).

Musicista, autore, regista, fotografo e sperimentatore sonoro.

Suono dai primi anni ’90: il mio percorso attraversa decenni di ricerca tra southern rock, blues, funk, jazz, sperimentazione, folk, gospel, elettronica, groove, ambient, soul, psichedelia e visioni cinematiche.

Da adolescente ho fondato diversi gruppi originali, dedicati quasi esclusivamente a brani inediti scritti e arrangiati da noi.

Con altre formazioni ho esplorato il rock e funk-rock e l’acid jazz (anni prima dell’acid jazz stesso), reinterpretando brani degli anni ’60/’70 e ’90, oltre al progressive anni ’70, e studiando standard jazz e blues come forma di ricerca musicale.

Verso la fine degli anni ’90 ho iniziato a lavorare in solitaria, producendo in home-studio brani e improvvisazioni su basi MIDI autocomposte e sperimentando con sintetizzatori analogici e macchine elettroniche, tra rock, fusion, jazz, funk, progressive, blues, psychedelia, drum&bass, chill-out, elettroacustica, elettronica e ambient d’avanguardia.

Dal 2000 al 2018 ho prodotto come CaosPreRinascimento, progetto indipendente di ricerca esoterica e poetica del suono e delle immagini.
Nel 2014 ho realizzato la colonna sonora del mio film indipendente TRATAK, presentato in vari festival internazionali (New York, Toronto, Londra, Pune) e vincitore del Black Lion Award al First Hermetic Film Festival di Venezia nel 2019.

Dal 2022 porto avanti DAAC Music Experience, laboratorio musicale e visivo che intreccia musica, cinema, esoterismo e immaginario simbolico.

Questo profilo è un archivio in divenire di suoni, memorie e visioni - un viaggio tra passato e futuro, dentro e fuori la realtà.
