Run Silent, Run Deep
July 2009

Breakbeat, dub, jungle, 90's techno, ambient and even a smattering of Paris Texas style blues guitar has found their way into the Dialog> melting pot to create a post-club brooder of an album.

Inspired by the element of Water as a metaphor for the unconscious mind, taoyoyo's artwork playfully draws on the Kraken mythology, as a symbol of the forces that lurk beneath.

Music for Imaginary Movies
September 2006

The debut album co-written with taoyoyo. A fusion of deep-house and cinematic sounscapes. First discovered by Dave Mothersole on his Kiss FM show, his encouragement lead to this well received release.

CALMSCAPE: Production artists in this genre often struggle to innovate, but Dialog> has spun out a BT meets Schnauss inspired album with impressive layering and structure, and an attention to detail that separates it from the pack.

Run Silent, Run Deep is the new album out soon
Featuring a remix by Echaskech (Just Music) & a co-write with The Beaufort Scale

Dialog> is the alias of London based producer Andy Smith.
His productions fuse a cinematic, movie soundtrack style with deep-tech and down-tempo electronic beats.

Dialog>'s tracks were first played by Dave Mothersole who featured the tracks on his deep-house show on Kiss FM. His encouragement led to the release of the debut album Music for Imaginary Movies.
The album was named after early feedback from DJ's commenting on the atmospheric style of the music.

The album went into wider circulation and attracted good reviews and plays from other DJ's including Nick Luscombe, Alucidnation, Pathaan, The Plump DJ's, Drumattic Twins, Anthony Pappa, Nico de Ceglia & Jim "shaft" Ryan. Abandoned was featured on the Big Chill's "Readers WAVS" CD.

Dialog> gigs on the London and festival circuit notching up gigs with Echaskech, Jon Hopkins, Daedalus, & Gagarin. He works closely with the Lo-tek label and has gigged with many of their artists: Bombay Monkey, Sound Sanctuary and Minke.

History
Dialog> started life as a collaboration with Alan Platten (taoyoyo). They met at cubs and both failed to earn many badges, which laid the foundations of a long term friendship that eventually led to a musical collaboration.

They were veterans of the 90's electronic scene and saw many of the key acts: Orbital, Underworld, Sabres of Paradise, Spooky, Ultramarine, Aphex Twin, Fluke, Seefeel, Lamb & Global Communication.
They co-wrote 6 of the 8 tracks from Music for Imaginary Movies together.

Alan now works as a designer in the USA, but still contributes artwork from afar.
Andy still records under the Dialog> alias.
