This is music made by someone who loves sound. Grant takes his sources and slows them down and fragments them and listens closely to what happens. He loves the grain and whorl, the texture he pulls from his music, and gives to us. All the music has been created using a very old record player, second hand microphones, discarded tape recorders and various bits of wire.

Grant Beran is an intriguing visual artist and a music lover. His experiments with turntables and junk lead him to the creation of his first album. His taste for recontextualising the music he loves excited me when I listened to his unusual approach to sampled music. He lives in Whangarei, New Zealand with his wife and daughter. A low key maverick.
