"These composions function just below the levels of conscious perception" - The Wire.

Greg Haines is an English musician and composer currently living in Berlin, who specialises in exploring the middle-ground between the academic world of contemporary classical music and the freedom found in genres often referred to as experimental or electro-acoustic.

He was born in a small Southern-English town in the 1980’s, where through lack of anything else to do began to take an interest in music and started putting together small bands and recording on borrowed equipment until he was introduced by an enthusiastic music teacher to the works of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Terry Riley and more – composers that Greg still considers major influences over his work. After this turning point, Greg began to develop his piano (and eventually cello) playing. Having neither the opportunity or the resources to write music for large ensembles, he began layering and processing his own sounds to create the desired result.

Shortly after, Haines discovered the work of Arvo Pärt and in it found his biggest inspiration. Pärt’s intricate use of both space and density informed Greg’s first solo release, “Slumber Tides“, on the Norwegian Miasmah label in 2006. The album was critically-acclaimed worldwide, leading one writer to state: “This is music to fall into and let it embrace your heart and soul. Be warmed and sadden by its slow unfolding beauty and grace. Clearly one of the most luxurious and emotional rich debut albums you’re likely to come across this year, or any other year for that matter.“ (Musique Machine)

In the wake of his debut, Greg toured Europe extensively (which he still does to this day) while befriending many other musicians along the way. Many of these friendships resulted in collaborations, including work with Machinefabriek and The Dakota Suite, as well as live performances with Sam Amidon, Jasper TX and Ben Frost. In 2008, Greg joined forces with the Dutch musician Wouter Van Veldhoven – the product of which being the vinyl-only release, “Three Days of Fever“ on the EatThis label.

As well working with choreographers including Meg Stuart and Ina Christel Johannessen, and having music used by various institutions such as the BBC, Greg has also been quietly working on a second solo album for the last two years. Titled “Until the Point of Hushed Support“, it will hopefully be released in 2009.

"Like the man who awoke to find himself drowning in a river, you may roam the dark with 4 million other somnambulists - and never know it. One soldier, after one of these attacks, he revealed that he had been dreaming about trying to plow a field with a balky mule. ‘That mule made me so darn mad I socked it,' he said. When he awoke, he found that he had hit his wife in the face and broken her eardrum. His lawyer successfully defended him by arguing that no one could be held accountable for acts committed in his sleep. Why doesn’t he, like the rest of us, lie quietly and work out the worries of his subconscious in dreams of action, instead of acting out his dreams?"
'Strange facts about sleepwalking', in Mechanix Illustrated (Mar, 1949)

Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.

Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.

Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.

Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.
