Leptis Magna is a project that aims to create paranoia induced soundscapes via seemingly simple structures that act to immerse and unease.
There is a feeling of impending doom within our soundscapes that occasionally manifests and often acts to hide the real danger.

Why this name?
Leptis Magna was an ancient seaport & trading centre on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. The feeling that this seaport conotes within me is the same feeling I want the music to conote.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Wider access, which allows high levels of experimentalism to be heard without limitting to serious underground experimentalists.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not a major, they'd hate us.
Band History:
I am noise obsessed and I just wanted to portray certain feelings via sound-scapes. The noises I use are mostly organic and are created myself using whatever I think will produce the sound I want. I guess you could say that Leptis Magna is a side-project to other musical things that I do.
The concept of Leptis Magna has existed for a few years but it is only recently I've explored it.

Your influences?
I love noise. Merzbow is great and I have a soft spot for Whitehouse. Metal music is probably the one I am most attracted to.
Favorite spot?
Nova Scotia
Equipment used:
I record organic sounds via dat recorder or even dictaphone. The difference in quality can be effective.
Anything else...?
I edit using pro-tools.
