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.

Although not necessarily direct influences, these are electronic artists that I listen to and have a great deal of respect for:

- Aphex Twin

- Arovane

- Autechre

- Bass Communion

- Biosphere

- Boards of Canada

- Bola

- Christ.

- Kettel

- KLF

- Lusine

- Patrick O'Hearn

- Plaid

- Proem

- Redpoint

- Ulrich Schnauss

- Speedy J

- Squarepusher

- Early Tangerine Dream

- Venetian Snares

- Kit Watkins

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.
