Artist description Angel Dust 216's music is quite experimental and is designed to appeal to those infatuated with electronic sounds. At times a rhythm... At times a click... A noise burst... Distorted sub-bass frequencies... A subtle ambient drone. Soft, embedded voices that surround the listener. They offer you their vision of the electronic future...

Music Style Electronic - ranging from Minimal and Experimental to Electronic Industrial, IDM, and Robotica

Musical Influences Kraftwerk, really...too many to name...

Similar Artists Kraftwerk, Autechre, Haujobb, Anthony Rother, SPK, early Human League, Duet Emmo, Esplendor Geometrico, Alvin Lucier, David Tudor, Conrad Schnitzler

Artist History 216 began as an experiment in non-musical musics. Electronic sound sculpture, frequently skirting the boundaries of pure noise. In 1987, Mox and Marsh formed Industrial Grinding, a precursor to Angel Dust 216, constructing electronic music via analog synthesizers and synthetic voice architectures in conjunction with tape based collages. The control aspects of their productions were based around c.v., gate, sync technology. Presently, Mox and Marsh continue to expand in their musical experiments. Embracing any and all forms of synthesis and recording techniques.

Press Reviews WYSO 91.3 FM - Lori here from Alpha Rhythms on WYSO 91.3 FM. Hey, thanks for sending in Ambia to the station. I like it and plan to play more in the future. I feel it's the kind of music you need to really listen to and can't have in the back ground because you might miss some sound. I played track 3 last night, Ambia 2. I really look forward to hearing more in the future. Also, please keep me updated on any concert dates. I see you will be doing one in Columbus soon. Thanks again! -Lori Taylor CAFE ASHTRAY - *Experimental Performance Space, Acme Art Company, 737 North High Street Columbus, Ohio. First off, admissions of bias: I used to run and book Cafe Ashtray. I had an utterly fantastic time doing it, too. Ashtray took place in the basement of Acme every Friday night for a couple years. It was always a small thing, maybe a dozen or two people. You didn't want it to get crowded either, since it was difficult fitting more than 50 into the space. Initially some beer was sold, but it was normally a BYOB affair. Ashtray was, in my mind and others, legendary. We had all ends of things come through -- performance art, experimental bands, staged plays, spoken word, theme events, and much more. Ashtray was known for the place to see the weirdest stuff every week; the secret stash of things not highbrow enough for The Wexner Center and not beer-brow enough for Stache's. Goblinhood read tarot cards while you waited. ANGEL DUST 216 came from Springfield to perform amazing analog electronic music. A local guy sliced himself up live. Gaga debuted playing 2-foot circular saw blades. MelloDeath debuted playing lounge versions of alternative hits. Body Release turned it into a techno haven; Jim Greenwood turned it into a curtained stage for The Importance of Being Earnest. Acme turned a few dollars richer, sometimes. I usually turned in after about 1am. --- Mark Gunderson (The Evolution Control Committee)
