Rumour has it in IDM circles that this is the best thing I've done. I tend to agree actually... well from the purist perspective anyway. Cristian Vogel released it on his Mosquito imprint. It ended up being the last release on Mosquito as their distributor folded about a week before the release. There were very few copies pressed, and most of these disappeared with the distributor. So it ended up being one of those lost releases.

A few months back IBM approached me with a crazy challenge - to make a track with an accessible vibe only out of sounds I recorded from their server centres around the world. In 'normal life' I make electronic music live from scratch using a technique called live sampling. Live sampling allows me to take the sounds I hear around me and instantly sculpt them into musical parts. I developed my own instrument the Flow Machine to allow me to do this. This track is made up of live performances on the Flow Machine with the sounds of cooling fans, hitting server cases and opening door latches etc. No synths or drum machines were touched in this process!

One of the side effects of #5yearsofimprov is hard drives full of original music recorded from live shows and studio jams. There’s literally weeks of it. This is a recording from a live show at the Soup Kitchen, Manchester from July this year

First test of 'cultivating' a track. Everything apart from the beats is generated by a new patch I'm developing which 'grows' melodies, harmonies and sound-morphs which I can harvest and assemble. It's controlled by the Touchosc XY pads in the pic. More about it here:

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
