RANDOM is the electro-digital dub project started by Matt.B and Ian
Hartley in the winter 2003 in Tokyo. Soon in the spring 2004 they released
a critically acclaimed self produced demo "Cuts One", a mix
of electronica and dub cuts. Following the overwhelming positve response
to RaNDom's independently released e.p, "point two" in the
winter 2004, RaNDom have taken a subtle shift in direction, and a blending
of the elements which have made their live shows from London's Alexandra
Palace to Tokyo's WOMB such a success, and which have also ensured their
tracks are now regualrly played by chill out luminaries such as Nova
(Ultimae Records) , and Gaudi (Interchill Records).
The inclusion of tablaist Shinsuke Inoue (a long term student of the
revered Kul Bhushan Bhargava) and Zak Bond (zen Drums) has added a new
percussive drive and flexibility to the live intrumentation and digital
manipulation that is RaNDom. RaNDom's tracks have been released so far
on Celestial Dragon (HK), Em:t records (UK) , Interchill (Canada) ,
Native State Rec (U.S.)
RaNDom have been playing around the globe with a talented roster of
electronic music artists such as Youth, Gaudi, Kaya Project, DJ FOod,
Talving Sigh to name a few.
The full line up includes:
Matt.B :: Programming,synths,electronic percussions, Dub FX
