Microlive04 ~ Si-Cut.db ~ Live@SiCutNewcastle
Based in Brentford, West London, Douglas Benford has been releasing his digital music under the alias Si-Cut.db since 1991. As well as the Si-Cut.db moniker, with seven albums released under this guise, Benford has also recorded as Radial Blend, Pantunes Music, Phoenix Jig and Media Form. Benford has collaborated with Scanner, Rechenzentrum, Janek Schaefer, Tonne, Iris Garrelfs, and currently Stephan Mathieu, Granny'Ark
and Benge (as Tennis). Ranging from microsound and electronica to dub, Benford has released music on Fällt, Bip Hop, BackGround Records,
Highpoint Lowlife and 12K.
Benford's current approach to his Si-Cut.db work tends, with performances and recordings, to use a variety of softwares (generative and file morphing is a trademark) and sound sample source techniques from improvised acoustic recordings and lo-fi children's keyboards, which are then edited, effected,
and sequenced. The last Si-Cut.db album entitled From Tears: Beach Archive was released on the Bip Hop label, with glowing reviews in The Wire magazine, and other global publications. Benford has played Mutek,
Ars Electronica, Tate Modern, Nokialab, Transmediale, Synch, Dis-patch,
Sintesi, Lovebytes and New Forms festivals.
Douglas Benford and has been a co-curator of Sprawl electronic music
events and label for over 10 years, as well as founding the Suburb Of Hell
and Pantunes labels.
