SecondaryCell
SecondaryCell creates electronic music which falls somewhere within the IDM, downtempo, chill-out and ambient musical styles, yet has an accessible, earthy quality that comes from a different perspective.
Once described as sounding like Ulrich Schnauss meets Boards Of Canada in a dark alley, SecondaryCell acknowledges the influence of these two artists as well as several others including Bola, Kettle, Luscine, Proem and early Tangerine Dream.

What equipment do you use?
Previously I owned quite a bit of gear such as a complete PPG system, Memorymoog, Minimoog, DX7, Jupiter 6, Simmons SDX system, etc. However, I sold it all due to the constant maintenance required and the huge amout of space that it occupied.
Now I mainly use the computer (Mac) with Logic Audio, Reason, Live, ProTools and all the various plug-ins available such as PPG Wave, Absynth, Pro-V, M-Tron, Oddity, FM-7, EXS24 and all of the Logic plugs.
