About Me

..
BIO:
Aperture brings a unique melodic vibe to the table, with lush atmosphere throughout his tunes. While stationed in New Orleans, Louisiana with the Marine Corps Aperture met with a local producer named 5.star, who served as a mentor in the studio and introduced Aperture to another important colleague - Outrage. The two helped Aperture draw on a deep musical background which includes classical guitar, piano, clarinet, and drum kit. The real progression occurred in Okinawa, Japan - where Aperture lived for an entire year. Focusing on defining his own sound, he returned to the states and founded Autumn along with Texas' Lost Prophet and Sol.ID. The melodies that resulted caught the ear of the owner of Fokuz Recordings, who released 10 Autumn tunes and more recently a tune with Toronto's Mutt. Recently making a departure from Autumn, Aperture has put his energy into his solo projects, becoming the first person in the US to be signed to Paradox's renowned Paradox Music and Outsider imprints. He was also featured as the first artist to release for the re-launch of stateside giant Breakbeat Science.
More recently, Aperture has been working with an extremely talented group of artists, launching Whisper Audio with Outrage and Kirsty Hawkshaw as an outlet for vocal drum and bass, as well as being a member of the J-Tek crew alongside Outrage, Modular, Digital, and the original jungle don, Randall. Aperture has also received airplay on Bailey's BBC 1Xtra show as well as support on the DJ circuit from Paradox, Storm, Digital, Spirit, Randall, Outrage, and Flight, A-Sides, Gremlinz, and Mutt.
Be prepared for big things from Aperture in late 2008, as a solo artist and as a part of many collaborations with some of drum and bass's best talent (including Outrage, Digital, Insight, Kirsty Hawkshaw, and the lovely Ill-Esha), with more quality relases on Whisper Audio, Paradox Music, Outsider, Timeless, and Warm Communications.
