The Why Project creates music that is a mix of IDM, Glitch and Ambient.
The Why Project is a virtual group, who currently hang out in Ireland,
with mixergod® as the only constant member. Projects are initiated by mixergod®, who also functions as engineer/producer on the group's efforts.
The Why Project has full time access to a well specified hybrid analogue/digital recording studio: A great mix of vintage synthesisers and vintage recording equipment is coupled to a digital sequencer and multi-track environment. mixergod® is an audiophile, with a passion for good sounding music and beautiful sound in general.
The Why Project always tries to find new ways to create music, be that through (online) collaboration, programming software to algorithmically perform some of the composition, 'live' studio sessions, or other means.
The Why Project is inspired by artists like Autechre, Kraftwerk, Orbital, Aphex Twin, Depeche Mode, but also by less 'electronic' ensembles like Joy Division, The Cure, The Sound, Bauhaus and Sonic Youth.
