Futur[e]cho 2019

Portland, Oregon musician Sage Taylor has been experimenting with sound and electronics as a hobby for over a decade, and has tapped into a wide range of styles in the electronic music spectrum throughout the years. His present-day output is likely to touch on quiet ambient music, soft, melodic IDM or dubbed-out ambient techno, but the goal remains the same as always: to create new compositions for people to zone out to.

Brian Grainger started making music somewhere after his parents’ divorce in 1997. He played multiple instruments in a number of different bands and projects, teaching himself how to play guitar, drums, bass and keyboard without the aid of classical training. In 2001, Brian began dabbling in psychedelic and ambient music, and by 2002 he became interested in writing computer-produced (but still organic) songs.

DeepWarmth has been around since the year 2010, with music previously and sometimes released as lilmanjs up until 2014 which saw the ending of lilmanjs with the track Journey (It Only Starts). DeepWarmth is a sonic melding of beats, usually but not limited to, Dub Techno and Ambient Techno. Also included on this are Ambient works of various kinds as James Shain. Since 2009 James Shain has striven to carve out his own place in the vast world of Electronic Music with his style influenced by quite a number of artists from all over the world including Japan.
