James Gardner is an English born New Zealand musician and composer who spent much of the 1980s in London playing and programming keyboards and synthesizers for a variety of artists. He moved to New Zealand in 1994. In 1996, he set up the contemporary music ensemble 175 East, of which he was until recently director and occasional conductor, and his compositions have been played and broadcast throughout the world.
Gardner is also a broadcaster on music on the New Zealand radio station Radio New Zealand Concert. He teaches music at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, Unitec and the University of Auckland, and writes and presents shows covering contemporary music...

lyrics

– I just made the « little ébauches » as a contrast to the longer, drone-based tracks.
They are deliberately rhythmic and pulsed, but I couldn't find a way forward with either of them. At least not without adding new sounds that were not made with the Synthi A. I was a little less purist about these tracks in that the Synthi A samples are played rhythmically from Logic's EXS24 sampler with MIDI controlling them. In the longer tracks, Logic is just used as a "tape machine", not as a sequencer. But all the sounds on these ébauches are still made by a Synthi A.
