Bio: Direwires is the moniker assumed by Adam Young (of the minimal techno
duo "Tractile") during his personal journey into the ambient and
experimental. Direwires is Adam's purest outlet of emotional self-expression
and musical exploration through which he creates a score to his life as if a
film - highly influenced by the work of Koji Kondo, as well as minimal
ambient and modern sound artists.
