"Formed in 2008, Artwork rose from the ashes of Leeds bands you never quite heard of. The duo have since decided to put the nonsense of real instruments behind them and embrace the computers and synthesizers that had soundtracked their early teens and forays into club life.
Initially meeting at university and bonding over Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon' and Jon Michel Jarre, they seemed a good fit; one was a classically trained musician, the other a tinkerer of technology. Dropping out of Uni and armed with a copy of Cool Edit, they inducted themselves into the bedroom studio revolution via Soundblaster Live, furthering their theory that wine equals productivity when making blippy, repetitive Rebirth loops way into the early hours. From there, their sound began to take shape around chiming melodies, massive PWM pads, old drum machines and a firm belief that Detroit Techno is dead good...
Early experiments were inspired by the the first wave of French House, Tears For Fears back catalogue on repeat and late 90's Trance. Experiments which would later to be described by Rob Da Bank as a mixture of Twin Peaks and Pet Shop Boys. The odd small release gained humble note and having pressed on, Artwork were given a more recent break when Late Of The Pier kindly released their remix of Bathroom Gurgle. Now they are taking saw and square waves more seriously, they are remixing anyone big and small"
