Mysta Squiggle - One of many parallel evolutions of the Hetheringtons
Who is sqgl
Squiggle/Joe/Sid/Thong/Zlatko/Oktalz/Asli/Isus/Hans... take your pick;
probably depends on which country we met in :)
Music is preferable to words anyhow.
Each of the following projects link through to free audio stream/downloads.
Two internet radio stations I run 24/7 taking requests from listeners in the chatroom and remixing them.
One station is ambient, the other is electronic dance music.
Back in the mid 90's I (as Mr Squiggle) was part of a trio of imrpovising techno performers
Department of Social Engineering (DoSE) in Melbourne.
There was no software developed for internet jamming so we just hooked up our computers in the same physical space with MIDI cables.
A common appreciation for German electronica shows through.
At the same time (calling myself Oktalz) I was a member of the more organic and ambient signal-to-noise (s2n),
where the emphasis was (like in DoSE) on 100% improvisation although (deliberately) without any electronic synchronisation
(hence the organic feel).
Since 1999 I have been backpacking through Australasia (and in 2006, Europe) mixing techno as
DJ sqgl, working alone but still commitment to a live improvisational approach specialising in
mashups.
There is also original and collaborative compositions under the pseudonyms of Glomph, Pump Action Pixels
and Thong Salad Sound System.
