At the moment tourmaline hum are:
Simon Lewry  aka Dental Drill
Steve Tree  aka Lone Cosmonaut

In the 1980s we were 'Except Buses'. We returned to public music production in 2012 after a 23 year hiatus. Times have changed since the days of running Steinburg Pro12 on an AtariST1020!

Our releases explore many genres from retro synth to dark ambient, experimental, and even classical.
Some can be purchased in handy bitesized chunks from TCFSR http://tcfsr.bandcamp.com/

As we work through our back catalogue some tracks from the 'Except Buses' days in the 1980s will appear on TCFSR.
Steve Tree releases personal musings as Lone Cosmonaut here @steve-tree-1

We turn up occasionally in collaboration

Czech animator Barbora Hermanová has used our track 'The Banality of Progress' as the soundtrack to her short film 'Eat Meat?'. http://vimeo.com/56644243

Lone Cosmonaut is my solo project, where electronics, field recordings and found sounds come together with software and hardware in perfect disharmony.
