About Me

test subjects is the studio brainchild of producer peet (heresy of thieves guitarist/producer)....peet lays down the sonic foundations and calls in various musicians from all sorts of styles to add flavour to the mix. everything then gets mixed, chopped, destroyed and rebuilt by peet in pro tools.now in existence since around 2001 test subjects has two self released full length albums available (2005's "the birth of winter" and 2006's "iv words"), as well as a sackful of one off songs and a couple of eps.peet has been in numerous bands of various extremity (3 signed to independant record labels) for over ten years, most worthy of mention HERESY OF THIEVES and BLADES OF UNITY, for whom peet was producer and guitarist/songwriter. testsubjects has been his alternate creative outlet since 2002.originally conceived as a project for no purpose other than self-gratification, testsubjects is now brought to a wider audience via myspace. both full length albums are available to purchase through this site. peet is open to requests to produce alternate mixes of current test subjects tracks, and is also available to create unique commission tracks for movie production, MC's and advertising.past contributors to test subjects include DJ FIREWORX (killer scratch dj), SEAN HOWE (incredible drummer-for-hire, member of heresy of thieves, out from animals, chief. played too many drum parts to mention for test subz, as well as laying down some amazing jazzy piano lines), HUGH JONES (awesome sax (tenor and alto) player, currently studying music in london), CRAW (bass player in tough guy hardcore band 6ft ditch - contributed drunken vocals to test subz), MATTHEW BASCETTA (guitar luthier extrordinaire, built peet's one of a kind electric guitar and contributed some lazy south style vocals to test subz), SALLY (ex-heartstring frontwoman, contributed beautiful female vocals to a number of test subz tracks), DAVID LEWIS (ex-thisalltimelow drummer, contributed countless fat beats for loops)I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Sounds Like: 2005's full length record "the birth of winter" has gritty, hard hitting live hiphop beats, underpinned by bowel loosening bass tones. dark amalgamations of samples, killer scratching and harsh noise cascade over the top and all around, enveloping the listener in a realistic reflection of today's twisted society. the record is intended for listening in its entirerity, with samples linking tracks from start to finish, although the track cuts are placed so individual or random track listening is still possible.
2006's full length "iv words" is a much more 'musical' work. the bass is still groovy and driving, but the beats vary from phat hiphop to funky jazz workouts (all live drums, no drum machines in sight). each song is laden with stunning musicianship - wandering sax reminiscent of 70's impulse recordings and guitars that cover flamboyant flamenco to burning rock solos to stomping funk. keys in a variety of forms are ever present, as is the presence of dj fireworx's cutting, vocal-like scratching. "iv words" is a work of depth, maturity and incredibly intuitive songwriting.
