The artistic evolution of the maestro behind Suplex Machine unfurls like a dynamic musical odyssey. Commencing the voyage in 1991 as a bongo/conga virtuoso, the journey swiftly gravitated toward the enchanting realm of tabla, fostering a fervent devotion that led to classical training in 1997.
Across the late 1990s and 2000s, their stage prowess mesmerized audiences throughout the UK and Europe, seamlessly mastering drums, guitar, bass and vocals. However, it wasn't until 2013 that the seeds of original composition germinated within their creative soil. This epochal juncture heralded the genesis of their songwriting odyssey, unveiling Suplex Machine as an introspective solo venture, albeit punctuated by the collaborative brilliance of Sarah Lawton and Dave Rigby. "The Highest Peak" beckons as an inaugural encounter, a symphony where the drums seize the sonic reins, adorned with delay and a tremolo-kissed guitar, echoing a nostalgia reminiscent of the '70s. The vocals, imbued with expressiveness, carve an indelible imprint upon the listener's psyche. "Black Sheep," a formidable track, bears a straightforward allure, yet beneath its veneer lies enchanting chord transitions and effortlessly digestible vocal melodies. The guitar, crisply pristine, allows the vocals ample space to soar amidst a mid-energy ambiance. Enter "Quantum," arguably the zenith of this sonic expedition. Here, the percussion assumes an unparalleled guise, possibly enriched by the presence of the tabla, delivering a performance of remarkable precision. These compositions stand as testaments to meticulous craftsmanship. Raw, unfiltered and authentic, they resonate with an unbridled veracity, encapsulating the essence of musical sincerity.
