This was initially intended to be a DVD but it seemed simpler in the end to just put it on YouTube and let you watch it there.
Dreams surround us like a mist. Spectres of a past that's lost. Half-formed visions of possible futures that may never come to pass. Everything is in flux either side of that tiny slither of the concrete that we call "now". Our memories slowly drift from what was "real" as our regrets make forks in the road of the past, creating alternative versions of what could have been. Nostalgia reaches out into the past, pouring emphasis on to things that used to be so small. Our hopes and fears reach out into the formless, probing for what forks the road ahead may take, searching for the "true" path. The world of our bodies seems so firmly established, grounded in that which those who lack insight into quantum realms would call "solid". Yet the psychic world is in a state beyond mere plasticity, it is a symphony for shadows.
I work with other people from time to time, but Edge Effect is basically me, Andy Preston.
I've been interested in television and electronic music since I was a very small child and can trace the beginnings of applying electronics back to the 1980s when I first started using 8-bit microcomputers and analogue synthesizers and occasionally poking my nose into my parents work with our local community television station.
As digital technology has opened up new areas for me, I have rapidly moved into them - now expanding the tools of my trade into computer hardware and software, video cameras and editing software, digital and film stills cameras, image processing, and digital synthesizers.
My own art projects are now mostly based around live performances of my own brand of dark-ambient electronic music coupled with pre-prepared projected video. I've taken part in performance events in London, Bristol, Burton on Trent & Swindon and contributed to gallery exhibitions in Swindon and Bath.
