About Me


Artists' Valley is a collective founded by Stephen Wilkinson (AKA Bibio, Duckula), Andy Harber (AKA Letherette, Harber) and Richard Roberts (AKA Letherette,Loafe and Merge). It hosts various projects such as the previously mentioned solo artists and also SK Dreams (Ste, Rich and Andy combined). We plan to put stuff out when we can, it's not really a label in the industrial sense so we don't offer signings as such - any releases are likely to be funded by the artists. We plan to extend the collective when we meet other like minded people. Artists' Valley isn't just music, it's film, photography and conversations (we tend to bore other people around us by constantly talking about compression and sampling etc...). Most of the tracks on this myspace page will be in the form of excerpts, hopefully the tracks will make it to vinyl one day soon, this will be made possible by dedicated people and of course anyone who follows our work. Thanks for listening.
Lone (Matt Cutler) is an artist new to joining the Artists' Valley collective, you can check his music out on his myspace page (see top friends below). I would write a little biog about his music but then music speaks louder than words sometimes, and I think in his case this is certainly true. We discovered each other via myspace which is evidence enough for me that myspace is a good thing afterall, it's easy to be negative about things like this... Lone will be contributing original material to Artists' Valley in the future when we get round to it, believe me, we are all on the case and laziness is never a factor, but funding (or lack of) is, hang on there and thanks to the enthusiastic folk who are eager for a release, we appreciate your support.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
