Musician and technologist. I love to make music from scratch in the moment using live sampling and looping. I built my own instrument the Flow Machine to allow me to do this. I've released music on Warp Records and software in collaboration with Native Instruments

Secret Thirteen is an independent audio archaeology archive, founded in Lithuania in 2010. Long-form mixes as personal cartographies of sound — heterogeneous, non-linear, built to last. From academic composition and industrial rhythms to outlier electronics and obscure cuts. Not genre. Depth.

John McLeod was one of the UK's busiest and most active composers. Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, he was a resident in Edinburgh from 1970. He studied composition at the Royal Academy of Music with Sir Lennox Berkeley winning several prizes for his work. Later he came under the influence of Witold Lutoslawski whom he knew and admired.
