Coloureds

United by a love of obscure noisiness and erratic rhythms, Oxford-based electronic mentalists Coloureds were formed in late 2008 by Matt Mooney and Nick Brewer (both ex-Xmas Lights). Taking their math-core roots into a more dance oriented format, Coloureds use and abuse an ensemble of Synthesisers, customised ‘circuit-bent’ keyboards and all manner of homemade noisemaking gadgets in order to produce their own diverse and unique sound.

Grimace

There is more then one artists with this name. 1) Grimace (also Grymace or Grimache) was a French composer active in the mid-to-late 14th century. Grimace was active in the period of music history known as the ars nova and was probably a contemporary of Guillaume de Machaut, since his compositions lack the complicated rhythms of the Ars subtilior. Grimace's birth and death dates are not known; little is known about him outside of attributions in medieval music manuscripts. Five works are attributed to him securely; two doubtful attributions have been proposed based on stylistic similarities.
