[edit] History

Augustine Leudar was born in the UK and started working with sound in the late eighties . Throughout the nineties Leudar pursued a more experimental and electronic direction and released several works some of which were featured on John Peel's Radio One show.

The music has taken an increasingly more experimental and naturalistic direction since spending half the time living in the forests and dustbowls of the Peruvian Amazon. Soundscapes created in Peru were featured at Pragues' national gallery the Rudolfinum 2006 as part of the Impresse exhibition and accompanied the paintings of Czech painter Otto Placht. He has recorded under several pseudonyms including Dreamworld and the Mutant Mirrors.
