“We monitor many frequencies. We listen always. Came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. It played us a mighty dub.”
― William Gibson, Neuromancer 

''Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby, you can be be the director of your opponents fate''.

Dilettante : an admirer or lover of the arts
It was unparalleled, undreamed-of, that I, Humphrey Van Weyden, a scholar and a dilettante, if you please, in things artistic and literary, should be lying here on a Bering Sea seal-hunting schooner.—Jack London

Dub Dilettante:
Combining these two, a dub dilettante is someone who enjoys listening to or even experimenting with dub music but doesn't necessarily have the technical skills or deep knowledge of a professional dub producer or musician. They might be someone who enjoys the sound of dub music, perhaps making their own mixes or edits, but without the same level of dedication or expertise as a professional.

Andrew Farris - synths, guitar, programming,  sampling, other electronics.

Impressionistic music existing outside of the verse-chorus-verse structures of a three-minute pop song that expand and blur the boundaries between shoegaze, gothic, ambient, folk, and electronica.

mayfairgrin has existed in various forms for the past 20 years. a mainstay to the underground, the project has released numerous albums. many of which are freely available on-line through popular netlabels. the project is primarily Andrew Farris; whom writes, records, programs, executes, and performs most of what's heard on each of mayfairgrin's compositions. the music is expansive and melancholy -- teetering somewhere between the depressed and the sanguine. 

Artists like Hammock, Tim Hecker, God Speed You Black Emperor, and Boards Of Canada served as equal inspiration and helped refine the emotional goals of the music itself. mayfairgrin has since received airplay on various college/indie radio stations across the US and in Europe, numerous remixes, club play, and received critical praise for mayfairgrin's unique and hard-to-define sound. Farris has worked with such artists as Julie Straw (PinkLogik), T Nathan Roane (formally of Vehemence Realized), film-maker/performance artist: Fabian Rush (Synthetic Nightmare), Joshua Sierk (Lunelac), Jason Coffman (Anaphylaxis), and NY-based spoken word poet: B. Lamont. the music of mayfairgrin has been remixed by artists such as Wormsign, Autovoice, Cryogen Second, PinkLogik, Anaphylaxis, and Cyberchump to name just a few.
