from minimalism to melody and back again, isan have been on a musical journey since a chance meeting brought together robin saville and antony ryan in leicester in 1996. once they'd discovered their shared love for electronic music and decided to work together, not much has been discussed. isan prefer to allow their sound to develop on its own, allowing their intuitive grasp of melody and the manipulation of sound to dictate their direction.
now based in southend and copenhagen respectively, robin and antony work separately from each other most of the time, communicating via email, telephone and postcard. notes are compared and directions noted, followed or abandoned. the end result is a hopefully coherent body of work for which the pair consider themselves jointly responsible.
their new album, plans drawn in pencil is now available on morr music . for full details of live dates, remixes and other news check this site and sign up for the newsletter at morr music.
in addition to maintaining his half of the isan bargain, robin also releases tunes by some of his favourite artists on his own label arable records .
