about

This one consist only of bass guitars layered on a 4-track analog recorder. The bass FX unit used for the delay (which in effect becomes the beat / rhythm) is an Applied Research & Technology Bass Command Center. While in Johannesburg in the late-'90s, Paul acquired this unit from Sugardrive's bassist Gavin Wienand. His large boot soles didn't play along with the one inch foot buttons, so he traded it with Paul for a PlayStation racing game box set!
The moody instrumental went by another title when recorded in 2000, but Paul and Sonja ended up using the song for the opening scene of their 2004 dark short film "imPERFECTION". So the song got renamed accordingly.

Recommended accompanying viewing:
The imPERFECTION short film of course!
However the short film has not been uploaded anywhere yet, but may some time in the future. So if you've seen it at a few film festivals incl. the South African HorrorFest and the Edinburgh / Africa film festival in Scotland, you're one of the lucky few! It is also in the special features of the Terminatryx / Nosferatu DVD and scenes from it had also been used on the Terminatryx live video backdrop for the song "Medusa").

On returning to South Africa he started creating music on his own terms, with no restrictions. Anything goes. Coining the term Tekno-Grind for this solo project (which only utilizes bass guitars), the initial intention for what it would sound like resulted in an eclectic beast! ... more
