about

In Ballard’s dystopian worlds, technology often has an ability to ultimately destroy his characters. “Don’t” is loosely in keeping with many of Ballard's central themes, most notably technologically mediated masochism, tawdry and weird technologies, dark and hidden desires, psychological and physical torture often resulting in sudden violence. In a world of increasing use of AI, I imagined a cyborg in a power struggle not only with their human emotions but also battling against being controlled by their dominant partner. They have the understanding of the pain and pleasure of the relationship they are in, but they are also trapped, unable to escape the situation they find themselves in, steadily spiralling into violence.

After 18 years as an electronic musician under another guise, I finally decided to create a side project which allows me to break away from some of the conventions that I use elsewhere, and to experiment more with sound. I’ve always been interested in how sound can morph into beautiful complex patterns of noise with the minimal use of tech and processing. It’s the ‘small sounds’, anomalies, mistakes and the sounds ‘between’ that catch my ear. Museleon tracks are experiments in sound and are best listened to via headphones and often require “deep listening”.Ultimately, as I have already found, it has given me an avenue to rediscover and enjoy electronic music creation again.
