Encrypter– 60 minute LIVE guest mix & interview on Brain Food Radio – 11.30pm to 1am – 24th of January

Encrypter is a hardware-focused composer and producer of electronic music. He has been obsessed with texture and processing recorded sound since he was a teenager, capturing field recordings on his Walkman as fodder for creating garbled noisescapes through cheap guitar effects. Since these early days, he has released ambient, downtempo, industrial hardcore, glitched-up jungle, splittercore and a variety of unique takes on techno through his original works and remixes for the likes of Myler, Diarmaid O Meara and Weever. As a result of two burglaries and a stubborn refusal to back up his work, he has essentially restarted his entire creative practice twice in a decade. This has led to his current focus on recording his tracks entirely live with hardware or by using unusual techniques like balanced feedback environments and pseudo-generative approaches to capture a feeling of immediacy and energy.

The Trawl EP from Encrypter was created using this live approach to composition. With just a handful of dusty boxes and a noisy mixer, the four tracks crafted show elements from each of his influences. Hefty distorted kicks rub shoulders with haunting synth melodies, while skittering percussion and warped samples bring a driving energy to each piece. This EP is the first release under the SEQARP label and stands as a mission statement of sorts. Hardware focused left field takes on techno and electronica.
