FORMED IN 1998 IN THE UK, LDT CAME TOGETHER FROM A COMMON LOVE OF CERTAIN MUSIC, ART AND PEOPLE.
LDT no longer exists as a project but Cdr's are still available from this site.
Much of the music was improvised using powerbooks, various electronics / analogue synthesizers and conventional instrumentation which has usually been prepared. Any resultant recordings are sometimes completely electronically reprocessed or left in their original form with no further mixing or post production.
Ian composed music
for the 2001 Numero Arts Festival in Lisbon and the new cd,
"Future Circuits" has been well received.
Ian is also a full time member of Psychiatric Challenge ( guitar
improv quartet ) and Sebastian ( guitar / electronics duo ).
