fine haiku’. Rob Young,The Wire
John Burton) has been defined as “one the bourgeoning stars of  
post-electronica” (Tony Herrington, The Wire). ‘The Housebound Spirit’,  
John’s 3rd and latest album released on Planet-Mu Records in 2003, was

http://yaxu.org
Gut-wrenching techno messing with a programmer's mind pre-occupied with
computer code. You see the programmer play live, the same as you see a  
guitarist play live - the process is brought back to the fore. Must see  
experience.

:: OWL project
the Owl Project have been using the log1k to perform their own brand of  
electronica, which combines electro-magnetic fields and signals to  
produce complex beats and ambient sound.

|| press quotes ||
'A gentle, slow, intimate, funny and rather wonderful process we might  
feasibly describe as pop' (David Toop, The Wire).

'Electronics, computers, memory, instruments, folk music, unpredictable  
influences, political discontents and objects are central to Matmos  
modus operandi and aesthetic.'
								David Toop, The Wire magazine (issue 235)

'The [Civil War] title is meant to suture the English Civil war of 1640  
with the American Civil War of 1865 with the domestic civil war between  
us as boyfriends and as band mates with the current civil war in  
America between those who support Bush and those who despise him'.
								Drew Daniel, in conversation with David Toop (ibit)
