Plastic Head Online Store Amazon.com HMV.com Amazon.co.uk INFORMATION
Kontour has been experimenting with electronic devices and voice manipulation for over twenty years. This new album brings forth an array of pure electronics and experimentation. It explores some truths in society and the fears those truths create. Social disorder and mental derangement run amok in a post apocalyptic landscape. You are being watched everywhere you go; everything you do is being registered. The albumâ€™s production involved no use of computers but harked back to analogue sequencers and tape machines, creating a sound not at home in the clean digital age we are subjected to. Percussion and rhythm came from a collection of vintage drum machines heavily processed and overdubbed with manually played electronic drums. Recorded voices were left almost inaudible, disappearing into a backwash of distorted phase.
Currently working on 'Some Bizzare' projects with Lucid Sketchmaster Productions , DTKO and Rev Spook .SOME BIZZARE DOUBLE ALBUM
Kontour is featured on the new Some Bizzare Double Album Released Spring 2008

04. Shark Cage "Electronic music has been a bit stagnant over the last few years so when I heard "Protect & Survive" it was like a breath of fresh air. A lot of thought has gone into the sounds used on these songs and that helps to make Kontour stand out from the crowd. I'm fed up with hearing the same old tired ideas used over and over again; it's good to hear something different at last. I can't wait for the album to be released". MANGLER 2007
