coming in a few days: Machine Cold Wash (official press release)

London-based industrial act Non-Bio are excited to announce the forthcoming release of Machine Cold Wash, their new eight track mini album and first new release of 2014.

Machine Cold Wash marks a move towards a harsher and more aggressive style incorporating elements of powernoise. The recording will be available free of charge to download via Non-Bio’s page on Bandcamp.com commencing from Saturday 5th April but a small number of CD-Rs have also been produced for promotional purposes. The track Medicinema was previously released as a downloadable single (including an X-KiN remix as the b-side) for Halloween 2013 and a promotional video was uploaded to Youtube.

Non-Bio consists of founder Howard Gardner (programming, electronics, VJing and vocals) and Karl Lloyd of X-KiN fame (noizitar, sampler and backing vocals). Influences include Wumpscut, Noisuf-X, Skinny Puppy, Sheep On Drugs and Aphex Twin.

Review in Side-Line

Some excitement yesterday, as Side-Line webzine published a review of The Game:

In related news, The Game is now also available on Amazon and iTunes.

From Russia with 'meh'

Lots of Non-Bio news all of a sudden today:

The first review of The Game EP is now online at goths.ru. However I'm a bit disappointed the two reviewers only gave it 4 and 4.5 stars out of ten. I ran the article through Google translation tool, but much of it came out as gibberish so I'm not entirely sure what they disliked about my music. Oh well. I know there are definitely some Russians who enjoy my music and I'm still waiting to see how it fares with English speaking reviewers; I'll keep my fingers crossed they like it better.

I got some much better news a couple of hours later: a track I recently made called "Placenta of the Universe" is being included on a compilation album, released by Brownian (e)Motion. This track's a foray back into the rhythmic noise genre; a style which I embraced in my early days of making music but have mostly neglected since 2010. It was quite nice to work in that style again! I haven't yet had a chance to download the compilation but it's here on Bandcamp - hopefully I will be able to listen to most of it tonight when I get home.

The new video is still coming on: here's the first special effects test footage I've produced:



And finally: a new toy!

Please note this video isn't a comprehensive how-to guide for circuit bending; it's more of a vague overview of what to expect. I've intentionally left some details out because half the fun of circuit bending is to research/discover the specific 'bends' for yourself but this might (or might not) set you off in the right direction.

Collaborative EP

Fans of Non-Bio's more experimental output will be pleased to know that we've recently teamed up with Tooth Kink (who we met at our Scream Lounge gig earlier in the year), DPRSSN and Matthew Anderson to create this two track EP (they're fairly long tracks).



You can download it from here:
Track 1: The Perfect example of Resurrection Failure
Track 2: Monotropic Societies

Enjoy!

Non-Bio Press Release - The Game EP

London-based industrialists Non-Bio are proud to announce the launch of The Game, a new four track EP and their first release since 2011. This EP marks a move away from the experimental sound of the Blue Horned Humanoids album and into more accessible territory for a wider audience.



The Game is available through bandcamp.com. Downloads are free, although visitors are encouraged to pay how much they feel the EP is worth. A limited number of compact disc editions can also be purchased through this page, priced at £3 each (plus postage and packing). Being a true multimedia project since its inception, Non-Bio has also released a video for the EP’s title track, which can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/Wb0LUnNv0c0

Non-Bio consists of founder Howard Gardner (programming, electronics, VJing and vocals) and Karl Lloyd of X-KiN fame (live synth, samples and backing vocals). Influences include Wumpscut, Noisuf-X, Skinny Puppy, Sheep On Drugs and Aphex Twin. Non-Bio hopes to schedule some more live shows later in the year and is recording material for a new album due for release in 2014.
