Conjoined Snail
Lunatek & The Conjoined Snail formed in 2005, Edinburghs finest electrocarp group; these half-crazed weirdo's will record anything and make music out of it - even your socks and pants.
(lead member, shoe) "Yeah, uh, I like to try and mimic the sounds I hear in nature. Birds sing in quartertones and tones indistinguishable to the human ear. I think thats fantastic. I'd love to mangle a bird through some old reel-to-reel or something. [laughs]"Band/artist history
While still having a very experimental sound, with a wide spectrum of noises, the groups main influences come from hip-hop, 80s dance music, jazz and ancient tribal ryhthms.
Shoe: "Rythms were invented before our world even existed, and modern music is based on those ancient ryhthms. If each musician's work is influenced by the successful musicians before him, and new instruments are being invented gradulaly, then music is obviously changing, evolving, as is everything else. mobile phones for example."Have you performed in front of an audience?Yea, we play live; Yes, I love it, Yes, our very first gig when I found that conjoined snail!
Your musical influences
Favourite artists include The Dust Brothers (now known as the chemical brothers) The Prodigy, and of course Edinburghs newest electronic duo, Boards Of Canada.What equipment do you use?
Scott uses his roland fantom, Im entirely virtual. Dual-headed athlon XP 3000+ running FL studio and with a few midi controllers. (keyboard and 16 knobs, 8 knobs and 8 faders.)Anything else?
The Track Shine evolved out of a synth solo which wrote itself in the middle of a industrial jam. A voice at the very start paraphrazes/abuses "Marvey Mills" (From electromancer.com) winging im an email about copywrite permission to sample this or that or something, I forget. :PAdmin
