Information

Since 2004 Lefthandpath has been dividing his time between the UK and France. In June 2004 the Festnoise show on Radio St Ferréol showcased Lefthandpath with a live interview and an hour of his music. This led to the co-hosting of Electromenager, a weekly show going out live on Thursday nights and repeated in the pre-clubbing slot on Saturdays. Lefthandpath can often be found DJing at parties and bars; notable amongst previous appearances was a well received five hour marathon solo set as part of the Fête National du Musique at the Café du Globe, Crest in June 2005 and his set for Electro Bombanight 2, at the Kiosque à Coulisses, also in Crest This last event received accolade from the press who carried a picture of Lefthandpath himself. 2003 saw Lefthandpath DJing at the Brighton festival and at various art openings and parties. He also played with the original Laptop-jam. During the winter of 2002, several Lefthandpath tracks were used in a critically acclaimed theatre production of Personkrets 3:1, in Helsinki, Finland. Lefthandpath is the solo project of Dave Webb. Originally a guitarist, he began using a drum machine as a metronome and discovered that programming beats was far more fun than playing in a thrash metal band. This led not only to the making of bangin' 303 606 acid techno but also experimenting with low speed DJing at Zero Gravity, Club Dog and Megadog events. On discovering the joys of sampling and sequencing with an SU10 and Atari ST his music became increasingly breakbeat orientated; about 8 years ago he purchased his first PC and hasn't looked back. Today his studio consists of a portable minidisc, a stereo microphone and a laptop running sample manipulation and sequencing software. He uses only found sounds recorded in the field, computer generated frequencies and, more recently, self played and recorded guitar and drum sounds. Sometimes the tunes evolve from an initial loop which then dictates the tempo and feel of the track. Sometimes they grow from a concept - maybe a muse on the sonic possibilities of the periodic table. And sometimes they just germinate from a beat seed.
