Brassica

Brassica is Michael Anthony Wright, making decisions and music on his own, sometimes reluctantly, but always with interesting results. Working with found sounds, multiple instruments, and electronic technology, the music of Brassica suggests a clear love of the musicality of sound itself, and beyond this a sense of how to apply structure and (dis)order to these very sounds, in order to produce a compelling and emotional affect, often rare in this kind of music.

Finglebone

finglebone aka Adam Varney was born in 1979 in Salisbury UK. He started playing guitar at the age of 12 and was writing songs as soon as he learnt simple chords and scales. Over the years he developed a wider musical taste thanks to the infulence of friends and began to experiment with basic recording techniques involving two tape cassette recorders. The often warped effect of continously re-recorded tapes gave finglebone a homemade/lo-fi sound and gave his music a crackle and distinct sound.
