Freeform is Simon Pyke who looks young enough to be still at school ( and
probably is !). The excellent album 'Elastic Speakers' is the second
release on Ambient Soho's Worm Interface label. The tracks released
through SKAM are a mere taster of the 8 hours or so of stuff he has
churned out onto DAT.
I asked Rocket at Ambient Soho how the album tracks were selected
considering there was so much stuff. Apparently this is supposed to be
Freeform's idea of the perfect album.
He also appears regularly at the monthly Live Wires events organised by
the shop.
I reckon all the people drooling over Autechre recently would rate
'Elastic Speakers' very highly as a lot of the ideas are similar but done
very much with the freshness of youth.
