Artist History Started composing in 1996 on an Atari 1040 STe, running 'Quartet'. First releases, 'Rien' and 'Blind' (both 1997), were very basic affairs with, it has to be said, few redeeming features. Still. Co-founded the short-lived metal band Pariahs in 1999 with Jim Woolford and Andy Hiernaux (aka Hiroshima Greenfinder). Concentrated on writing for the band for a while, but it soon showed itself to be going nowhere. Acquired a PC in January 2000 and formed NCR. First release was 'Dereliction', a seven-track demo CD (all tracks of which will be available for free download here) was completed in August 2001. 2002 saw a savage inability to finish any tracks whatsoever. This left the planned album release, 'The Leaving', in a bad way. It has since been abandoned altogether, and now work is under way on a new release.

Group Members Martin Dixon.

Instruments PC running AudioMulch, Fruityloops, Cool Edit Pro, Cakewalk, Sound Forge and other software, plus Korg Poly-800 and, occasionally, a Jackson JS1 guitar.
