Artist description One student and one computer in the wild and wooly wastes of northern England, attempting an escape via music. ISDS is a project which brings together 1974's progressive conceptualism with 2000's abstract sounds. Think Pink Floyd mixed with Plaid. (But don't ask what it stands for.)

Music Style IDM, ambient electronica, progressive abstract... read 'variable'.

Musical Influences Plaid, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, mu-ziq, Radiohead, Yes (no, really), Pink Floyd, Third Eye Foundation, etc.
