Artist History Grimes began as a lighthearted experiment I never meant to release,but in a matter of hours I had completed an hourof material that went on to become the "TheInfernal Machinations of Hell's Grim Tyrant"cassette that was released by Troniks in Augustof 1999 in a limited edition of 50.Since then I contributed 3 tracks to the "AnAnthology of Noise" 2CDR compilation on FusionAudio Recordings. There will probably be more to come...

Press Reviews GRINDING INTO EMPTINESS (e-zine)Each track seems to have a similar formula: mild and simple synthesized beats lingering behind gradually flanged tones that are pulsating at rapid intervals, all rounded out by waves of gritty backing drones. The outcome is easy to get sucked into... The outcome is very atmospheric, and some of this material would probably fit in well on a soundtrack to some gloomy futuristic film in the vein of Bladerunner.WORM GEAR #9GRIMES displays more movement and is possibly more accessible than most ambient projects of this vein, however it's redundant trance nature may weed out the weak. The atmospheres would not be out of place on a soundtrack for a very dark sci-fi film, however, I have never seen a film dark enough to fit this music.
