Add N To (X)

Real Name:
Barry Smith, Ann Shenton, Steven Claydon, Dean Honer, Rob Allum, Andy Ramsey
Profile:
The three humans behind the suggestive sound barrage of Add N To (X) - Barry 7, Ann Shenton and Steve Claydon - plugged in their equipment in the mid-1990's with the intention of creating music that would be highly unconventional, profoundly evocative, and open to wild ideas. With what amounted to a political will to oppose dull and predictable use of machine as well as organic instruments, and a revulsion at the rise of coffee table electronic music, they were bound to be intriguing. What they have achieved in just over half a decade has, however, demolished all expectations and built a purposefully deranged sonic edifice on top, visible from all corners of the planet.
