Friction:Fire is Colm O C********** and has been making computer based ambient electronic music since the birth of Rebirth, Fruity loops and Acid. He is currently setting up a studio in a secret location in Co. Kildare .
Colms music can be described as the sounds of an insomniac dreamer. Having mostly made tunes in bed at 4am with a powerbook, big headphones and a warm lap, he hopes his tunes convey this.
