| Band Members | Giles Jacobs and Simon Baker play hardware synthesizers, sequencers and sound processors, plus tape machines, drum machines and digital recorders.
They also use found-sounds, field recordings and other electric and non-electric instruments.
The music is pre-planned, but largely automatic and not often over-dubbed, the instruments and preparations playing together in real time.
