Televise is the alias of Simon Scott, who has so far released two albums, two singles, one movie soundtrack (“How my next door neighbour discovered life on mars”) and 2007`s acclaimed mini albums/EPs “Strings and wires” and “Sometimes splendid confusion” under this name. Televise also released a remix 7” single on Club AC30 records in October of two tracks taken from “Songs to Sing in A&E” by artists Isan and Ulrich Schnauss.
His current work uses organised sound samples and combining processed tones, physical manipulation of digital technology and organic field recordings. These recordings taken from Simon’s Cambridgeshire home combined with untreated melodic progressions form intricate, evolving audio structures. The third Televise album “Volume Three” also combines layers of looped textured noise, reversed acoustics and sequenced guitars with prepared piano and the inclusion of vocals - processed and natural - and live instrumentation allow for Televise's music to expand far beyond the constraints of the purely digital.
Volume 3 features fourteen tracks including seven of the nine tracks off the sold out 100 copy only limited edition 2nd album “Secret Valentine” released originally in February 2007 on Distant Noise records. It also features a contribution from Isan`s Antony Ryan on second track “Neon Stone” and includes key tracks from the “Strings and Wires” and “Sometimes splendid confusion” EP/mini albums released on DriftingFalling.
Simon lives in Cambridge, the city he was born and his hero Syd Barrett’s home town, where he began making music in 1998 as the drummer of The Charlottes who signed to Cherry Red before joining Slowdive in 1990. During this time Simon played on the first two slowdive albums including “Souvlaki” which featured an inspiring collaboration with ambient legend Brian Eno. After three years signed to Creation records Simon left to drum for a number of other acts before forming Televise in 2003. Simon is also a member of Morr Music group Seavault with Antony Ryan from Isan, contributed drums on the forthcoming album from Epic45 and also guitar on the Hannu’s “Hintergarten” album.
“Volume Three” is released on CD and digital download by his KeshRecordings label which is run by Simon from his Cambridgeshire studio. Kesh are a label sure to build up an impressive back catalogue before the end of 2008 as releases are all scheduled by Hannu, Greg Davis, Sawako, Sebastian Roux, Isan, Benoit Pioulard, Ateleia, Christopher Bissonnette, Adam Pacione, Mark Templeton, Moskitoo, Dale Lloyd and Keiichi Sugimoto (fourcolor/filfla/fonica/minamo).
