Space Burglar started messing with his laptop around 1999. With a listening background that diversifies far beyond electronica, he incorporates both electronic and organic samples, sounds and instruments to create a somewhat epic texture of his own. Expect some sort of public release due in the near future.
For someone with a much more band-oriented listening history, it is ironic that his first output was most obviously influenced by German tech-dub, especially of the Basic Channel/ Chain Reaction variety. That sound process ethic continues to feature in his production. However his first most concerted effort at producing something truer to his influences wound up being much closer to Twilight Circus Dub Sound System, We, and Ninja Tunes, especially Amon Tobin.
Most recently Space Burglar has broadened the palette of his explorations, exposing his fundamental tendencies towards post-rock, sci-fi themes, glam, alt.country, krautrock and wall-of-sound productions. It features much more guitar, synth and melody textures. His basic approach seems to be to grab the best hook from a song and rinse it out for all its worth.
The full length LP 'Epic' is available in CD format. Send a message - or email to letters(at)spaceburglar(dot)com - or go to spaceburglar.com - for more information.
The following are some past or occasional scenarios Space Burglar has been involved with:
Cheers, Yep finally got round to it - hope to put some more tracks up soon. Re 80's porn and popsicles - they had to use very bright lights back then. Early video, revolutionary but not without its problems.
Your half of the Midday Mass(acre)show is sonic magic pal! The only good tunes the other guy plays is Spacemen3 and Tiger Tones! ps...No smoke, no choke!
Hey, thanks for nice words! Really appreciated. Btw, a minor correction, our song is titled simply 'Manoeuvres', no 'Heimlich' or anything :) Take care!
