This album began with a single track, Contamination, that I made for a Conrad Schnitzler tribute album that never happened. I enjoyed making it so much that I thought I might do more and gradually this happened. I'd dearly like to think that Conrad might have enjoyed it - he was a true pioneer of sonic exploration and a major influence for me.
Darkness is very 'out of the box' and uses a lot of old analogue gear and celebrates the noise, hiss and hum that comes with it. It's dirty and it's lo-fi - the cast including the Elektron Octatrack and analogues such as the Vermona Perfourmer mk2. And of course the star of the album is my EMS Synthi AKS.
