Sonic explorer and sound enthusiast interested in field recordings, soundscapes and sonic art. 

Paul Green is the controller of a synthetic orchestra of beautifully fluid deeply-layered dark twisting electronic keyboard sounds with a laptop and Tenori-On that make beautiful arppegiated synth sounds and the kind of low tempo clicks and glitches that remind me of walking around an old house when you were a kid and getting a bit scared by the creaky staircases.

Imagine Kraftwerk if someone spiked their punch with absinthe, and you're halfway there.

There are noises like a lazy summer biplanes passing through a megaphone and then sounds of lush nebula-soaked space blending into electronic pistons working under an iceberg. Melodic and faintly menacing at the same time, sort of like being in a flotation tank with a stingray. The music seemed to map the gluey neurons that fired as I listened: a delicious alarm clock at the end of wintry dream.

Manchester's Number 1 Electronic Artist

I was born in Leicester and started playing the guitar there in 1995. I moved to Manchester in 1999 and still live here.

As a musician I'm interested in composing forms to improvise within and improvising without forms using the guitar. I am interested in exploring that instruments total tonal possibilities through tunings, intergration of melodic and abstract sounds and preparations.

On rare occasions I work as a promoter of gigs always operating in a DIY manner. 

Formed in 2008, _scape are brothers Norm and Rod Skipp. The duo explore the interaction of live and pre-composed electronics with instrumental performance.
