My name is Garvan and Float Method is currently my main project. I have a love affair with making soundscapes out of random objects and instruments which came about whilst doing a music tech degree in London. I initially incorporated synths into my productions but it wasnt long before the organic approach took over. Im now finishing an electro-acoustic ambient album which im very proud to say shall be released on the magically splendiferous atmowork label.
Photography is my other passion which ive incorporated with my sound over the years. All the photos in my page are off bin lids, oven spillage, dirt and other random stuff.
Im now planning on a few ventures with other projects and am very up for working with new people.
Massive Attack, Hybrid, Lisa Gerrard, Murcof, Disturbed Earth, Peter James, UNKE, Boom bip, Peter Gabriel and much of his Realworld releases such as Jocelyn Pook, Afro-celt soundsystem, Jocelyn Pook, Sheila Chandra etc. A Perfect Circle, Ulrich Schnauss, Zero 7, The Waterboys, Pink Floyd, Aphex Twin, Faultline, Enigma, Efterklang, Nina Simmone, Tool, Depeche Mode, Bjork, The Beta BAND, Inxs, Clouddead, A Hawk and A Hacksaw and nearly anything from the Leaf Label. Iarla O Lionnard etc etc
Are you a musician? What instrument do you play? Type of music?
Drummer. Besides that learning piano and will pluck, blow or bash anything if i think i could make a soundscape from it.
Hey Garvan, great talking with you last night. congrats on your release. One of the most amazing sounding things to come out this year, so glad that people will be able to enjoy your music and craft now. I couldn't be happier for you.
much respect
Dean
congrats on the release of Desolate Empire Garvan. it's a fantastically beautiful album, well worth the wait, and technically i have absolutely no idea how you create those amazing textures and soundscapes. that's what makes your work so good to listen to. it always takes me elsewhere.
with the deepest respect.

hi G! good to see you back here and in good form. i've been a bit dark of late - a few things getting in my way, but the mists are slowly clearing. how the devil is your own masterpiece coming along G? would love to know the state of progress.
take it easy.
peter.
Ive been ok thanks. My collab with Dean should of been released October but one little thing got forgotten so I probably have to wait till mid-december :(

Thank you for your kind comment on "Everyday Flower".
Your track "Green Glass Glare" is very evocative, it feels like a dusty desert vista, good work !
