ØxØ - Mythologies - CAS

ØxØ (pronounced “null”) is a new collaboration between Brighton-based experimental duo David Berry and Barnaby Thorn, two artists developing concept-led “post-internet music for anti-millennials”. Their new limited edition cassette EP is out via pioneers of the hyper-specific, indie label Truant Recordings.

ØxØ is the marriage of intelligent, ambient cinematic arrangements and carefully considered theory put forward to convey thought-provoking ideas that that have long been on their minds.

Berry, a Digital Media Professor at Sussex University, is a writer, producer and electronica artist who began recording under the moniker Meme as well as one half of the electronica duo Ward. He co-founded the open source label LOCA Records in 1999 and has been supported by John Peel (who, memorably, once played his track at the wrong rpm). 

Partner Barnaby Thorn has released music on Carton-Pâte Records and Love Love Records under various aliases. After 2 years teaching in Berlin at a renowned music college Barnaby has composed, experimented in ambisonics/psychoacoustics and collaborated with other artists for interactive installations. Barnaby is now based in Brighton and has been working and dabbling in sonic engineering with his brother in Felix’s Machines (Mute) and with Plaid (Warp Records) for the past 4 years.
