About Project Dark
There are two artists who go by the name Project Dark: 1) Project Dark - experimental noise duo from the UK 2) Project Dark - abstract beat/hip hop producers from the US 1) Project Dark are Ashley Davies, Kirsten Reynolds, Jason Cook and Tony Pattinson. They have been producing large-scale live video/music shows since 1995. A catalogue of custom sculpted 7" singles are used as a primary medium and basis for generating a unique range of sounds and spectacular related images. The singles were constructed out of glass, hair, biscuits, concrete and other substances not normally used to create records. 'Excited by Gramophones' took the form of an expanded DJ set-up, employing the live playing of these artefact singles on decks. 'Disc Continued...' presented 3D video with red and blue custom printed viewing glasses supplied to the audience. 'Gramophone De Luxe" was released in 2003. 2) Deep inside, and underneath piles of "works in progress", projects upon projects, and a hectic live show schedule, producer Moshe and writer Syn the Shaman found the time to conjure up a collaboration, which started off as a "side project" and rapidly manifested into much more. With a wide array of influences ranging from Portishead, Bjork, and The Doors, to Blonde Redhead and Black Moon, it's no wonder it sounds the way it does. The songs flow into each other like there's no distinct start/stop point, only to leave a grey hazy transition. Though both members of Project Dark are known for their "hip-hop" roots and familiar sound, Project Dark itself steers more towards a smokey, dark bar soundtrack. Touching on controversial subjects and content, but never lacking taste and maturity. A combination of raw talent, and a passion for old horror movies, will brand the PD insignia in minds worldwide.
