[edit] A Potted History

Born into a noble family of boxcar racing gypsy folk, Owen P Tromans III early years were documented by tragedy when both his earlobes were severed in a romany knife throwing showcase of his elder brother Florian Eccles Tromans Jr. This lead to an early infatuation with anything that might tickle the remnants of his once magnificent lobes and thus Owen the sonic architect arrived. Early musings included such seminal tracks as the relentless 14 minute overture for single string banjo, "Globulus In Excretal part 3".

[edit] Tromans:Lust for Glory

Owen has long sought the secret knowledge denied him by his Great Uncle Barabus. Such was his frustration that he spent the whole of 1998 searching the caves of Tipton for the hidden sound of his tears. It was only in 1999 that he realised such actions were a tad fey and best left in the shoebox he kept in the cupboard under the stairs.

[edit] Tromans: intelligent drum and bass

Since 1995 Owen has been privately working on an album of intelligent drum and bass compositions, with the title 'Hot Monocle'. He still considers it a work in progress, despite not having lifted a finger towards it since May 2001.
