Justin Ashworth is a muffled sigh of joy in the shape of a boy. He spends most of his time mixing cocktails, playing with his kitten Sashimi, and turning everyday sounds into music. Justin has released 2 independant cds and a book of poetry, composed for several short films, dance works and visual art installations, toured nationally and internationally.
Justin plays guitar, sings, plays keyboards, bass, theremin, percussion.
His music combines electronic textures/effects with live instruments including live and electronic drums, cello, piano, and a stunning live visual show.
Performances range from full band ambient rock/surrealist pop shows, to solo ambient lullaby sets/ with a new Absinthe music cabaret in the works.
Justin's new recording/live project titled "if you go far enough into the sky, you'll come out underwater..." Is an Industrial rock meets electro meets ambient surrealist pop. Think bjork, with a bottle of absinthe, in a living room at the bottom of a lake, re scoring Twin Peaks with Trent Reznor.

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.
We are finally ready to start promoting my 'I Surrender' single with my album, 'Ella Trip' coming right after -yey!! What d'ya think to the video teaser?
To celebrate our first 27 releases on Section 27 Netlabel, we proudly present to you "Sectioned", a compilation of 27 tracks, amounting to 2 hours across two discs of twisted electronic beats, discordant melodies, haunting passages, broken ambience, bending senses of time and space, microscopic glitches, pounding bass frequencies, sounds between sounds, the human voice and the audible sensation of music dissolving in acid. This is the sound of your mind's eye. This is the sound of the Sectioned... Strap yourself in and enjoy the experience.
Also features a 75 minute bonus disc "Sectioned : Nonimxs", including 9 remixes of selected Section 27 artists by Nonima and 2 original tracks created by Silent Snow and Nina Kardec using existing Nonima tracks.
this will be our very first gig with our new drummer Rowan Richardson. also we will be featuring live belly dancing and a very special guest vocalist. FREE GIG. love to see you there.
Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
Thanks for the friendship and support!!! I know I've been quiet for a while but I'm working on some new stuff so please check out my page in the coming months. One!
