Playing guitar since i was 13, brainwashed from rock to punk to metal to hip hop, i started to enjoy electronic music listening to some industrial bands like Test Dept, Godflesh, Nine Inch Nails in the first '90s. Suddently i got involved in the first wave of electronica, Future Sound Of London, Orb, AFX etc; after i went to my first free party/festival my mind started to become opened to many new worlds; heavy influeneced by that whole movement, i got a drum machine and started to make some electronic music attempts around '97 and my first autoproduction in '99. Realized another autoproduction in 2000/2001, mainly experimental techno stuff; finally i joined Hydrophonic Records label from Milan, run by my friend Alessandro Skeeme, and started a long and still active collaboration making some techno industrial vynils like the 'connections eps 1 and 2'. The two completely mine 12"  'Masters of legalized Confusion' (2003) and 'Obscure Fairytales' (2007) can be described like this: hard edged drumrolls, variable synth grooves, changing melodies, abstract sounds bleeping in and out. I made a split album with Mechanic Willow on Idroscalo Records, Rome, run by Antonella Pintus, called 'Niente Di Nuovo Sotto Il Sole', a couple of  punching technoid electrobreaks industrial tracks, made in "the spirit of AFX taking a holiday in Italy". While taking the SAE course in Milan i met some good friends that were starting the project of making a sound system; i joined them and the whole thing has been called Untravelled Ground. Emiliano Pilloni (PilloPlex) and me started our indie electronic label Untravelled Ground Records (UNG) in 2007 and made 3 vynils and 1 cd, producing Pilloplex (Changing Doctor ep), Synthe.Labo (Blackened Happy Sheep ep), Intiman (Drug Dealers ep) and a collaboration project of me and Enzo Sarteur called 'Iron Steel Art', all with the support of the Music Lab studio for final mixes and masterings. 
2013: 'Transitions' Lp on Hydrophonic Records: a mixture of techno and electronic infuences, divided into a vinyl Lp (more groovy/acid stuff) and a digital release (more focused on my own thought about electronic mucic).
Since 2000 i developed a particular style that is a mixture of many influences: techno, electro, breakcore, idm and clubbish stuff; i have difficulties to describe my music, anyway i shifted from tekno to more break and experimental to more downtempo techno and electronica. Nowadays i'm both into groovish and mental or more experimental stuff; as some friends of mine say, even if i make an house track it's clear that i have 'warpish electronica' roots....and anyway eclecticity is the keyword.

Hello to everyone, 
This is Tom Courage, from Greece. I've been playing both classical and electric guitar for 6 years, and I've been exploring the magic of recording and producing music. I'm here in Soundcloud to listen to other people's music, inspire and be inspired, and, of course, promote my music a little bit. I ve always had as a central inspiration John Frusciante, Johnny Marr and Jonny Greenwood in terms of soloing, but I generally try to have a different source of inspiration every time I sit down to make music. Other inspirations are Joy Division, Bauhaus, Radiohead in general, Bon Iver, Gotye, Smiths and Cypress Hill some times. I believe a musician should always broaden his musical mind, by listening to different genres of music and find different inspiration. So, this is all for me I guess. Peace and love to everyone! :)
