Calling himself Arcane Device later his recorded experiments became popular enough to warrant a cite, David Myers' exploration into manipulated feedback resulted in several album and cassette-only releases get-go in 1987 and close in 1994, when he felt the experimentation had run its course.
Myers came of age during the era of the Beatles and formed a rock and roll grouping like hundreds of other teenagers during that prison term. However, Myers establish himself drawn more than toward the feedback possibilities of rock medicine and the various personal effects boxes associated with electronic music (in the purest sense of the term). After later being influenced by Robert Fripp's Frippertronics and Brian Eno's ambient medicine, he eventually came circle to construction a system that would produce feedback to be manipulated by legion dials, knobs, and buttons, all Frankensteined unitedly from respective personal effects boxes and reshaped. The results sound zippo like feedback as we have come to know it -- depending on Myers' treatments, the sounds produced feel like synthesizers, calendar method of birth control boxes, industrial randomness, and ambient drones.
In 1987, Myers sent a magnetic tape of his number one experiments to Chris Cutler, late penis of Henry Cow and legion other medicine projects, and head of Recommended Records, wHO so put stunned the tape as 1988's Engines of Myth. Myers spent the next septenary geezerhood zippy from apart label to unknown label, though Staalplaat now takes care of the CD reissues as does Myers' have homegrown label Pulsewidth. AD's sound evolved and shifted, from near-unbearable noise (1992's Diabolis Ex Machina) to ambient (1994's Envoi in Cumin), though never in a running fashion. Myers did non keep his Arcane Device projects studio-bound -- the unpredictable nature of the electronics in his apparatus light-emitting diode to several live appearances and improvisations. Myers' besides collaborated with other experimental artists, including PGR on 1990's Juju (more a shared CD than a coaction) and Asmus Tietchens (1993's DBL_FDBK and 1996's Speiseleitung). In 1994 Myers took a break from recording, only returned in 1998 with several new projects under his own distinguish.
