Hydatid

Hydatid is David Loose. He has been creating electronic compositions in Brisbane since 1997, and has been playing live since 1999. Hydatid?s sounds have been created through a combination of software and hardware and are an exploration of digitilism. No analog equipment is used. Digitilism is a philosophy of sound creation, an exploitation of attributes which are uniquely digital. The sounds of clipping, lowered bit resolution, physical modelling synthesis, wave editing, algorithm distortion etc. These compositions are uncomfortable, disturbing, largely unstructured, yet deeply layered. The sounds sprawl non-linear, evolving, self-replicating. Melodies are fractured, detuned. Highly compressed data streams; corrupted. Meanings unretrievable.
David has recorded four full length CDs, which he has distributed to Australian radio stations, independent record stores, and record labels. His songs have featured on a number of Brisbane compilation CDs (released in Australia), and have also received nation wide air-play.
As a live unit, Hydatid uses a Yamaha An1-x synthesizer, a Yamaha Rm1-x (for
live sequence remixing), and a PC. He has played at various clubs and art festivals around Brisbane.
