PAUL TAYLOR Impulses

CD album | gg559
Paul Taylor is one half of Sutcliffe No More, formerly Sutcliffe Jugend. He is and was also a member of Inertia, Bodychoke and Slaves No More. Most of his music has its background in the power electronics scene that evolved in Great Britain. Power electronics is a style of noise music that typically consists of static, screeching waves of feedback, analogue synthesizers making sub-bass pulses or high frequency squealing sounds; with screamed and distorted vocals. The genre is noted for its influence from industrial. It is generally atonal, like most noise music and also features a lack of conventional melodies or rhythms. To match its sonic excess, power electronics relies heavily upon extreme thematic and visual content: whether in lyrics, album art, or live performance actions. This is what Paul says about Impulses: The creative process of making music for me is built on Impulse. That sudden urge to plug in instruments, sound effects and see what happens. The compulsion to sit in a room for hours on end, experimenting with sounds, then often deleting output. Making music is that constant itch, that for me never goes away. There has never been a middle path in my music, it is either one extreme or another. The need to break boundaries will never cease to exist, playing safe is never an option. This piece of work took over a year to create, which is a long time for me. Constantly deleting parts, re recording and editing, it had to be right or go in the bin. It is what it is, built on an ‘Impulse.'
