"I am not a musician...I am a Surrealist with a guitar!"
Adam Lygo utilises layered guitar loops to explore rhythm, texture and dynamics applied to a veriety of themed albums, from the surreal philosophy of ants to the inner workings of imagined machines, the emotional turmoil of opium addiction to a Jungian journey into the minds maze.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The music is recorded as improvised pieces, the intention is to push guitar music in the direction of the lap top whilst maintaining the performance aspect of live music.
Adam also creates all of the artwork for his CD's in order to maintain a continuity with each albums concept. The artwork is developed over the same period as the albums recording and editing processes with equal importance being given to the audio and visual aspects of each project.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the past ten years Adam has self released 39 solo albums on his own HIVEMUSIC label as well as an EP. and double CD with Paul Morgan & a collab album with EMB(The Slightly Off Kilter Label) , 3 singles on Slough Noize & a download only album on Noise Joy
For more info on Slightly Off Kilter click slightly off kilter in my friends list. For Slough Noize see 197.
Inspired more by visual aesthetics (film, painting etc.) rather than other musicians, Adam has created music for a contemporary dance company, worked in collaboration with a screen print artist and often uses film as part of live performances, creating an improvised soundtrack rather than simply using film as a backdrop.
Adam has also provided incidental music for a late night radio station & is the curator of the infrequent live experimental music evening Club Silencio-------------------------

We are proud to announce the creation of La Manufacture de Bruit, label and netlabel born from ashes of La Cadera, , well known by ethereal music amateurs as producer, at the end of 90's, from bands like Semper Eadem, Fin de Siècle, Puppets Love Dreams...
Dedicated to ambient, neoclassical, experimental and industrial music, La Manufacture de Bruit will mainly produce free download bands, as far as possible in a multimedia and multi discipline view ; but also limited hand-made objects.
We start our activities with a first production, Post Mortem Photographs, in a ritual ambient style inspired by German Expressionism in particular Carl Theodor Dreyer's cinema...
