About Hoopy Frood

Indigo

Available from Amazon.co.uk

New album: Indigo A rainbow of sounds, eclectic styles and theatrical moments created by friends.

There are no rules or pre-conceived ideas. There is no intention to create anything in particular other than that which organically appears in the time and space that we share.

We draw our influence from life and not by any particular artist or album however we remain eternally grateful to those that have inspired us as individuals and shaped us into who we are. These varying influences come together as the ingredients to our hoopy collaboration.

We continually strive to improve our recorded sound, our live performance and our creations themselves by never completing any piece of music but by letting it evolve, change shape and improve as hopefully we will.

We try to make people smile.

Be hoopy, be happy!

Section 27 Netlabel	Nov 8 2009 8:40 PM [S27-026] Nonima & theAudiologist - Almost Tomorrow (Glitch, Ambient, Downtempo, IDM) .. Click image to go to download page 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.

Don Nunya	Oct 12 2009 9:32 PM Love your music Hoopy Frood, it caught me off guard in a scene full of the same sounds. I am looking forward to getting the new one, though for some very strange reason, I have just discovered you a week ago. How you slipped through my music knowledge suprises me with the talent you have. It is an honour to meet you. Namaste, donny

Spatialize	Sep 15 2009 8:37 PM just checking the new sounds of your new album. really cool stuff and nice ott production! gonna get on the case for a copy a.s.a.p. makes sense to make your own label for this release. there's too much bland chill-out music out there.

Eden Festival	Aug 10 2009 7:28 AM Hello, I'm just sending out a reminder that due to the nature of the festival site, this event does have limited capacity ... we will be selling only 2000 adult tickets - buy soon to avoid disapointment. Tickets purchased at the gate (if still available) will be more expensive. So grab your tickets in advance from our website - http://edenfestival.co.uk/ & join us for an incredible weekend! See you in September :)
