Super Soaker
Pertaining to the Night
Inspired by Sonic Youth and drum'n bass, this is a mostly percussive track with lots of distorted bass lines and modulated filters, exploring different rhythmic sequences with an ambient section bringing it to a close.
2 Minutes, 48 Seconds
A little excerise where I crammed a lot of evolving ideas into a short space of time.

I'm a solo artist in the field of electronic music. I never stick to a particular genre as my music tastes are always changing, which dictates the direction of my own work. Overall though, my styles tend to revolve around Ambient, Downtempo, Breaks and Experimental. I've been using music software since I was a lad and continue to this day. I'm currently studying a Degree in Composition at University. I've had airplay on PBS radio in Australia and have had my own compositions performed live in Melbourne.
I currently have my first album up for sale which can be purchased here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/biko
