Greetings intelligentsia. Yes, Mark Van Hoen recorded the first CD with me
and Tara, but production was a mutual thing. Sure, you're going to hear his
influence on the music, but the consistency is in fact due to the use of his
studio for this and his solo recordings. We talked about this at the time
and new that a greater separation was required since any specialised set-up
will lend a recognisable signature to recordings made with it.
However, the Locust project took off for Mark and he's had to dedicate his
time to this so it has not been a problem. Me and Tara parted company with
the Orb shortly after the release of "Mettle" and have since been building
our own studio and setting up a label, TEMPLATE. As well as the
"Sauce"/"Gruff" single we also have a remix on As One's "Reflections on
Reflections" album, Kirk Degiorgio's project for New Electronica featuring
remixes from Carl Craig, Scanner, etc. In an earlier life we remixed
Seefeel's "Plainsong" on the Pure,Impure EP under the name Sine Bubble. This
EP also contained mixes by Aphex Twin, and I think most people thought our
mix was his ! I believe this EP was called "Polyfusia" in the States.
Looking forward, an EP is due out soon on Kirk's A.R.T. label, and we have
many more offers for work. An album will be released later this year,
accompanied by a new live show. Recently we have been taking a fresh
approach to both the art and the science of creation. There will be no
sequel to "Mettle" because that was a one-off experience for all of us, and
the whole process (impulsive programming over an intense recording period)
could never be duplicated. Besides, "Mettle" was recorded about three years
ago and there are new movements in music to be distilled and interpretted.
Mark is doing well and I see him regularly. Try to catch his live set if
possible which features synchronised video footage - excellent. There was
never an official 'split'. Whilst we are both busy on separate projects at
the moment, I would say that there is a better than average chance that we
will work together in some form or other in the future.
Signing off.....
