the band
Darkroom was formed in 1996 to provide a live soundtrack at the Nevers Film Festival, France. Their debut album ‘Daylight’ was released in 1998 on the 3rd Stone label; since then they have released six further albums and made numerous live appearances including at the Glastonbury festival, Omsk, Sprawl, the Digital-Analogue Cambridge festival and the Internationales Loopfestival Zürich 2005.
the music
Darkroom represent a crossing point between avant-free jazz improvisation and Fripp/Eno-style ambient looping. Often by turns beautiful and beautifully ugly, this is a very human music despite the inevitable technology that produces it.
the artists
Andrew Ostler (aka Os) (laptop/keyboard/electronics) and Michael Bearpark (guitar) have played together since 1992.

Os it was my mistake of course, it was a fellow from Norway or Sweden I believe, last name was Ostberg and I thought he had signed a salutation as "Os" so thought it was you. The project I'm producing is part of the CT-Collective community, a project producing music from recycled materials - ReUse. Yes Michael and I did a couple of NJ's in prep for Y2K6 and have intended to reunite. So let's do that at a point. Best to you both and congrads on the Darkroom work.
Michael and Os hey, I've not seen the GP article yet but again congradulations on getting the exposure. Excellent and great day to you both, sometime we need to do another NinJam - always open. Os too congrads on getting your ReUse done, I've still yet to do it.
