"organic didgeridoo meets electronic voodoo"^^xsd:string

| ns1:olb |
"Michael Martin has been playing didgeridoo since 1996. His first real foray into dance music came in 1998 after returning from a period of work and travel in Tanzania. Martin attended the Megadog Beach Festival in Cornwall and was so inspired by what he heard and experienced that he decided to incorporate his didgeridoo playing into this style of music.
At first this effort began with Martin playing along with various techno and trance DJ's as the popular "Deviant Didg" at squat parties and clubs in London like The Fridge, Club 414, The Pleasure Rooms, Tyssen Street, and the Drome. Whilst this was good practice, he soon grew rather restless and decided to involve himself in Koru, a drum and bass live PA based in Brixton. ("PA" means live electronic performing musicians).
Michael began playing with these techno and trance DJs around London and at festivals like the Lizard Eclipse in Cornwall. This introduced him to the production side of things and he was hooked. He didn't like being a passive member of the band who "just played didg". He wanted to actively create tracks from start to end. Studio equipment, however, does not come cheap, so he took out a career development loan, trained as a software developer, earned some extra money, and bought the necessary gear. Shortly after he joined up with another drum and bass live PA (Impact) and gigged with them. This was fun for a while, but he found himself drifting into becoming "the didg player" again, so he decided that another change was in order.
Following a 2001 Bristol Halloween party at which his psytrance live PA OOOD was playing, Michael got to know Colin Bennun. The two became friends & started writing psytrance tracks together from time to time. He has had the good fortune to work with talented guitarist, Joe Weinstock, who is featured on several Indidginus tracks. Michael is currently involved in a collaboration with Ishq (Matt Hillier) performing under the name Open System.
Michael has played at a wide variety of events in his home country (UK), adopted country (South Africa), and elsewhere in the world. In February 2004 he moved to South Africa, where he has written soundtracks for several TV commercials, a couple of series, and a documentary. He is currently writing the soundtrack to the independent feature film Cognition Factor featuring collaborations with Alex Paterson (The Orb), Colin Angus (The Shamen, Pablo Sandoz) & Merv Pepler (Eat Static)."^^xsd:string
