Mark Durgan

Mark Durgan first released cassettes in 1986 under the name Putrefier as part of the fledgling power electronics/noise scene of the 1980s. Subsequent releases have appeared on Broken Flag, RRRecords, Harbinger Sound, No-Fi, PAN and his own Birthbiter imprint. Now recording under his own name, Mark uses an array of homemade electronic devices, including a modular and ‘pressure’ sensitive synthesiser to combine short snippets of electro-acoustic composition and environmental sounds. Inspired at least in part by Musique Concrete, the resultant work is quieter and more subtle than his previous releases.
