I’ve been making music on and off since 2007 under the name To Blacken the Pages, and recently as The Ambient Service.
The Ambient Service: ‘When Facts Don’t Matter’.
Made on and off over the last 4 years, in response to Trumps presidency, and the international drift to the right in general, with titles drawn from newspapers such as The New York Times and Washington Post. Titles such as ‘When We’ll Know Who Won’, ‘What We Know and What We Don’t Know’, and ‘Traps, Smokescreens and Suicide Bombers’ hint at the media’s attempt to fact check and monitor the very basis of democracy. These voiceless songs are slow, murky, but with a growling rise of noise and grit which suggest the struggle to navigate a path through such divided times.
