Lost in the Process continues where Nazca Nine left off and it has taken me a long while to finalize and master the initial album “ONE�?. Musically Nazca Nine came about from my interest in Indian Sounds and Instruments and the idea of integrating them with western sounds and styles such as IDM and Dub and what's now become PsyTrance. Nazca Nine were gigging from 97-2000 and produced 5 albums which are no longer available. I am planning to release a second Lost in the Process album in the near future which will contain some remixes of Nazca tracks, as a sort of updated introspective.

My interest in Indian Sound probably stems back to “Living on the Ceiling�? by Blancmange in the 80’s. I remember seeing them perform live with Pandit Dinesh on tablas and Deepak Khazanchi on sitar and being absolutely fascinated by the tablas. When I first got a sampler and some tabla samples I was in my element. I’ve had a set of real tablas since around 97 but I only discovered fairly recently that they were ‘tourist’ tablas, which explains why I could never get them to sound like tablas. Last year I got a decent set and I’m making progress, although it’s a difficult instrument to master, and I definitely need to find a teacher. That won’t stop me using them on my tracks though.

Another aspect of Indian music I love is the drones, there is something totally compelling for me and I have used drones extensively throughout my music making. I read something interesting about John Cale in New York in the 60’s where he was part of a group of people who experimented with drones which must have been great. Apparently they would keep them going for days at a time….
