Editor's review
Somewhere among electronic music's madness, Martin Clark (a.k.a. Tilden) discovered there was more to sonic creativity than banging on the drums all day. Picking and choosing from a variety of sound sources (synths, drum machines, samplers), Tilden achieves hypnotically pulsing ambient minimalism--entertaining soundscapes designed for daydreaming.
Biography
A life of musical ideas and inspiration by Martin Clark was realized in 2002, when he created the musical guise Tilden. Bored with convential use of guitar, bass, and drums he took ideas from all types of music and his imagination and manifested them using synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers. Since age 17 he has toyed around with synthesizers believing them to be the future and hope for music. His vision of music revolves around beauty, borderline psychedelica, childlike melodies, and ambiance. Once he established himself in his style he decided to start putting his unique brand of music to tape. Since then he's been working on his album which is currently untitled.
During 2004 he was added to Gentle Records, and is now working hard of finishing his album. May 2004 saw the first ever live appearance of Tilden at the Gentle Records House show in the Basement of Richmond's Gresham Court Apartments. Since then he has done other house shows, and is now taking time off of doing shows to finish his album and try to plan out a more interesting and exciting live show. Look for big things to come in the near future...
