I don't wear my influences like badges. There have been a few musical phases which were mainly 'classical' music as a youngster then got into more modern music and electronica and now acoustic/folk music in a similar realm to the bands I play in.
Hello, I'm will and I play cello, piano and a bit of drums and whatever else I've accumulated which is a lot of stuff in a little room. I live in Brighton and play in a few good bands. Shoreline, Sons of Noel and Adrian, The Miserable Rich, The Leisure Society and Django Spears.

I do a little of my own music, some of which is on this page. I have a little help
from my friends Jake and Mike but most of the the material on here is just me. ..............................................................................................................................
The bands are very busy at the moment so time to work on this has been a little short. Going to try and work on a couple of things up til Christmas just to keep it moving and maybe get the old EP together, nigh on 50 years in the making.

Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.

It also flows like a dream with every track complimenting the next, this EP delivers the goods then takes your face off. Ventolyn & Becotyde and Section 27 are proud to give you "Neuro Torque", now available for free download. Like all good things should be.

"Beautifully pastoral debut." MOJO **** "Wonderful" Observer Music Monthly **** "An autumnal mist of British Bank Holiday ennui surrounds Nick Hemming's literate meditations." The Times **** "Music to cuddle up to, music to clutch yourself to, music that is, as Jimmy Webb might say, necessary. This is a band that could well be the sound of 2009."
