State Azure
Southampton
Producer of electronic, ambient and experimental music from the south coast of England. __________________ Bio: Immersed in the synth-pop and electronica of the Eighties growing up in southern England, State Azure (b. 1972) found early inspiration in Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, and Vangelis. Deconstructing their tracks ignited his passion, leading him to develop a foundational understanding of electronic music theory, composition and production entirely by ear and experimentation. He honed his skills as a keyboardist and producer within live bands before venturing into solo ambient/experimental territory. This self-taught journey fostered a deeply improvisational and emotional approach, free from the confines of formal training. State Azure's sonic world is further shaped by influences beyond music, drawing heavily from science fiction, cosmology, physics, and technology. Seizing the opportunity presented by the burgeoning online music scene, he launched the State Azure project to connect directly with listeners, debuting with the album 'Outlines' in December 2011. Thanks for listening and leaving your comments/feedback, it's very much appreciated and really helps to keep me motivated and pushing forward. __________________ Releases: "Disconnect" - Album released: 30/3/2014 https://stateazure.bandcamp.com/album/disconnect "Snowblind" https://offworldrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/ofw034-transmissions-volume-4 "So Long, Eternity" - album released 21/3/2013 http://stateazure.bandcamp.com/album/so-long-eternity https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/so-long-eternity/id628160193 "Candle" 2-track Single http://www.loodmarecordings.com/loodma0020.cfm "Reminisce EP" on Loodma Recordings http://www.loodmarecordings.com/loodma0016 "Outlines" Album released 24/12/11 - Free or pay what you want.
