    • I do reviews and commentary mainly on ambient/drone, but also operate within a beat-driven triangle whose coordinates are the more adventurous ends of techno, post-dub, and IDM. To illustrate, this week the Loco stereo has flowed with sounds from Steve Roach through Stephan Mathieu to Kangding Ray—a spectrum of space-ambience pulse'n'atmo. I can mainly be read on igloomag.com these days, though you might've come across occasional insertions on the Lend Me Your Ears blog, and I was a contrib to the now defunct e/i mag and Furthernoise. Beyond listening and reviewing, I engage otherwise with music, with outcomes in the form of self-assembled mix creations and audio-doodle under the moniker albient (via Soundcloud and Mixcloud). Based in Bristol, epicentre of 90s’ Trip-hop and ’00s Dub-step in the Wild West of England, I guess a person’s day job might be considered salient to who they are, so let it be known I earn a crust in language/literature and education, though, tbh, you’ll find more of me in the former than the latter.
