Northcape - #3 ETShowcase 2009

Northcape is the ongoing work of a British artist (currently living in Brighton, England) who has been producing electronic music for quite some time, but self-released his first CD in 2005. Although most tracks (so far) don’t have lyrics, they are all drawn strongly from personal experience. The aim is to create music that expresses ideas and evokes environments, landscapes and memory rather than to focus on the technology and techniques used. Current work continues to widen and deepen Northcape’s style of melodic electronica, bringing in influences from a wide range of genres including IDM, electronica, shoegaze and ambient music.

Solipsism - #2 ETShowcase 2009

, Craig Murphy is a musician, composer and producer of experimental music and a multimedia artist working with abstract music videos. Having established the rising Herb Recordings imprint in his native Scotland, Murphy’s own output resembles that of a musical odyssey. An obsession with Frank Zappa has seen to a fascination with experimentation and Murphy’s many projects span several genres. From the mechanistic, yet poignant electronica of Solipsism, his electro-psychedelic band Shoosh with Neil Carlill and multi-instrumentalist Ed Drury, to his recent ambient outlet ch.pm. Murphy’s distinctive sound is often abstract, yet retains a rich, melodic and emotional edge.
