About
Implosion Quintet is nothing of the sort, being but one chap. A self-taught street-urchin, I cobble together tunes in a kind of modular fashion, a system that has developed quite organically over the last 16+ years. The everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach means the music is difficult to classify, (something which makes promoting it a challenge) but essentially it's a crossover that blends tango, rock, proggy retro-electronics and jazz. Basically a composite of the various elements I really love. Everything is deliberately lo-fi and unpolished out of choice because realism and good old-fashioned grit are unquestionably the way forward.
Iq started back in 2001 inside a playstation. Despite this rudimentary and hideously longwinded studio set-up, the new sequenced environment allowed the assembly of these disparate wonk-blocks into longer tunes. In 2005 some of the PS-era work caught Cookshop's ear and the subsequent release prompted me to stop cocking about and get a decent studio sorted. If you have an ear-wise of it all, you'll notice there's a big difference between the pre- and post-2006 stuff. The Werks album compiles everything up to 2006 watershed moment, and things have since morphed from a period of 60s soundtrack-drenched spy-jazz into the current schizophrenic beast you can hear on the debut-proper.
Thanks for reading,
