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 so click on the headings below to hear that music. Each of the following projects (chronologically ordered) link through to free audio stream/downloads.

RePlayScape

Two internet radio stations I run 24/7 taking requests from listeners in the chatroom and remixing them. Started this in mid 2008. One station is ambient, the other is electronic dance music.

DJsqgl - Beats

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. External Site.

DJsqql - Ambient

Several ambient mixes, most of them quite recent (2008/2009).

LoFiPsyFly

Original and collaborative compositions under the pseudonyms of Glomph, Pump Action Pixels and Thong Salad Sound System. Created in years 2000 to 2003.

DoSE

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.

s2n

At the same time (calling myself Oktalz) I was a member of the more organic and ambient signal-to-noise (s2n2s2n), where the emphasis was (like in DoSE) on 100% improvisation although (deliberately) without any electronic synchronisation (hence the organic feel).

Jams

In August 2009 I had been settled from travel for 3 years and itching to jam again, so I encouraged a select handful of emusos to defect from a social network called meetup.com to instead form a private network for jamming/collaboration purposes. The above link are some rough mp3's (presented here mainly for archival purposes).
