Creature

About Me

Creature is the music of Steve Haunts based in Derby in the UK. Steve trained in music at a young age and took exams with the Trinity College of Music in London. Creature is an electronic act creating dark, atmospheric ambient / down tempo industrial music with driving beats influenced by bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Boards of Canada, and Hybrid.
Creature uses many experimental techniques for creating sounds including Circuit Bending. This is when you get old electronic toys and rewire the insides to create totally crazy sounds. There are lots of circuit bent samples all over Distant Horizon.
Creature also likes to experiment with Dark Ambient music and has releasedthe first in a series of discs called Nightmares and Dreamscapes. This series of discs allows Creature to experiment with ambient drones and textures outside the usual musical style of his other releases.
Supporting Creatures Distant Horizon album there is the album Mechanical, 2 EP's, Daisy Cutter, and Twilight. Both Ep's contain lots of extra material which suppliment the full album release.
The 2nd full length Creature album, Distant Horizon will be available from most good online music retailers including ITunes, Rhapsody and Napster As well as on CD from CDBaby towards the end of 2007.
