Honest answer: C,F,A,C,G played on synthetic keyboard strings (with a little bit of guitar) through silly amounts of delay and reverb.
'Better souding slightly pretentious answer': Music for when long warm summer evenings turn to still summer nights, followed by peaceful summer mornings.
Summer night air started in summer 2003. I seek to make music which is simple, warm and friendly! I am not interested in the clinical, precious, precise, cold and 'oh so serious' nature of some ambient music.
If you think reviews matter here are some:
"worth tracking down if your taste leans towards the expansive, the minimally melodic and the distinctly dewy-eyed...artless but never quite gauche, 3 is a gentle but genuine pleasure."
THE WIRE FEB 2006
"gorgeously woozy, constructed around lonely pulses of delight; its warm drone bathes you in a honeyed glow and it's minimal aesthetic is deceptively simple. In short a glorious release."

"blending low-level hip-hop beats with Scorn-esque bass and elonated guitar riffs to remarkable effect. . . it's that awesome. . . the music is superb, the artwork and packaging equally good. . . [it's] warped shuffling genius. 300% necro, foo'! (5/5)" (Zero Tolerance magazine).
Necro Deathmort's This Beat Is Necrotronic is released on Distraction Records on August 31st, but you can get your hands on it for FREE (on a 'if you like it, why not buy the CD?' basis) in all of its 320kps mp3 glory at distractionrecords.com!
This takes place this Thursday! See you there? d.x.
Distraction presents Kania Tieffer, a otter-fixated Chick On Speed cacking out pleasantly disturbed lo-fi fake nonsense r'n'b and vitriolic electropop with cheap children's keyboards, a battered old computer and an electric guitar, in an unmissable live show. Support comes from sample stealing, tune pinching, melody wrecking a-moral wrong-uns and kings of nostalgia-core Radgepackets, and pointlessly hostile bootmash-noisewhore-wrongtronica idiot Dressed In Wires! Cor!
Only 4 quid in, kick-off at 8pm, find out more here!
Rimini returns to the Star and Shadow, new and improved , even at Octobers lower temperatures!
A killer line up featuring Hollands finest Orgue Electronique LIVE. Creme records mastermind DJ TLR. In the cinema a journey to frozen polar wastes with Bunker records artist Shemale and an exclusive live set, and finishing with Rimini fave Tadge playing a selection of rare cosmic classics. You know it makes sense. Rimini is a non profit making organisation. x
7pm - 1am Friday, 3pm - 1am Saturday, 3pm - 12pm Sunday // £5 per day // NO advance tickets
After a veriable famine in the North East music 'scene' where the musically adventurous and artistically driven have been forsaken in favour of the safe, the tame and the bland, Distraction present three days of aural innovation, future players, and diverse sonic excursions that right those very wrongs.
The Distraction Weekender returns. Accept no imitations.
