Ambient project created by Jaron Eldon of Obsolete Donkey, Gavin and Pete later joined.
Why this name?
It originated as more noise or drone music than an ambient project, Music that is Musically Challenged was a perfect description for it. It's more musical now, but still fitting.
Do you play live?
It's incredibly hard to play soundscapes such as our's live.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows us the opportunity to spread our music easily. It unforunately allows the listeners to easily download a favourite track, and not the album as a whole. We design albums as one cohesive whole, and not a compilation of random songs.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Possibly, ambient music has an incredibly narrow audience however.
Band History:
This ambient project was the brain child of Jaron Eldon. After he announced that he had commenced work on an ambient project, two guys from England contacted him and said that they would like to take part in the project. The first album, "After the Sky Falls..." was written by Jaron Eldon, Pete Nigel, and Gavin Stewart.
Now, their next album is in the works. Pete recently got married to his long time girlfriend, moved out of Essex, and left the group (with no hard feelings, mind). Evan Lindley, a local friend of Jaron's joined the group and has been contributing to the new album in multiple ways.
