Squarepusher is the performing pseudonym of Tom Jenkinson, an English electronic music artist signed to Warp Records. He specialises in the electronic music genres of drum and bass, musique concrète, and acid, with a significant jazz influence.
Jenkinson was born in Chelmsford, Essex in 1975 and was educated at King Edward VI Grammar School. He went on to study Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and Design. A self-taught drummer and highly skilled bass guitar player, his style of extremely fast, cut-up beats mixed with fusion jazz and interlaced with synth lines and samples has gained him a cult following. He is a friend of Richard D. James (Aphex Twin), and Luke Vibert. His albums have been critically acclaimed for their forward-thinking approach to electronic music.
Jenkinson performs live, playing with a fretless or fretted bass guitar, a laptop, and other hardware. He appeared twice on BBC Radio 1's The Breezeblock show. On 26 June 2005, Squarepusher played at London's Royal Festival Hall as part of the Jimi Hendrix tribute show "Songs of Experience". His 12-minute performance was built up of a medley of Hendrix tracks played solely on the bass guitar with the use of effects.
His brother, Andy Jenkinson, is also a respected recording artist, under the name Ceephax Acid Crew.
Squarepusher's latest full-length album, Hello Everything, was released on October 16th, 2006.

Equipment
Squarepusher sequenced his pre-2000 work on a BOSS DR-660 drum machine, which wasn't designed to sequence entire songs. He uses hardware for his electronic music such as King Tubby-style spring reverbs, Akai samplers, (S950 for early work, S6000 for later work), a Roland SH-101 acid house-type synthesizer, a Roland TB-303 acid bassline synthesizer, and a reel-to-reel tape machine. Around the year 2000, Squarepusher bought a computer with Reaktor and an Eventide Orville for digital processing. According to Squarepusher himself from his website he claims to own this:
“ Bass guitars: Music Man / Rickenbacker 4001 / Custom built 6 string.
Guitars: Classical and Baritone classical / custom electric guitar.
Software: Reaktor using only home made algorithms.
Electronic Hardware: Eventide "Orville" + "DSP4000" using only homemade algorithms/ Yamaha sequencer / 16 track tape machine / MackieDesk / Sine wave generator / Roland SH101 / Octave "Cat" synth / AKG414 mics / Home made + AKG analogue reverb units / DAT recorder. Percussion: Ludwig drum kit / Balinese percussion / xylophone.
Other: some wires, mains leads, a room to put it all in, cooperative neighbors, etc. ”
He has been known to play Fender, Ernie Ball, and Warwick basses. Squarepusher claims to know more about his music equipment than the manufacturers of the products themselves.
Perhaps the most ubiquitous rhythm associated with many Squarepusher songs is the use of the Amen break (see the list of tracks).
Philosophy
I, Squarepusher, hold the view that the influence of the structural aspect of music making is in general underestimated. By structural aspect, I refer to the machinery of music making eg: acoustic and electric instruments, computers, electronic processing devices etc. Use of a musical machine is obviously accompanied by some level of insight into its construction, operation and capabilities. It is common for a musician to have an awareness of harmonic and stylistic rules which may be observed or otherwise. It seems less common to be critically aware of the structural limitations. This structural limitation is inevitable; an analogy might be to try to talk without the use of a mouth.
This point has a particular pertinence in our present era where so many pre- fabricated electronic devices populate the landscape of contemporary music making. These devices generate output according to input combined with mathematically defined rules of transformation, implemented electronically. These rules thus have a direct effect on any musical activity mediated by a given machine. Of course, this is why the machine is employed - to modify sound, generate sound etc. Yet this triviality seems somewhat more significant if one considers that the manufacturers of electronic instruments are thus having a considerable influence on modern music. Indirectly, software programmers and hardware designers are taking part.
A naive notion of creativity seems compromised if we consider that a given musical piece was at least partially dictated by the tools of its realisation. Although I emphasise that never can a musician escape the use of some sort of musical tool, there is nevertheless a choice which is always made, unwittingly or otherwise. We can choose whether to understand what rules the tool imposes on our work, or we can disregard them and leave the manufacturers as "sleeping partners".
I suggest we can enhance creative potential by a critical awareness of the modes of operation of these tools. Thus, I urge an unmasking of these black boxes of the contemporary musical landscape. Circuit bending can be one way - analysing and modifying electronic circuitry. Another is to understand the ways in which musical data is encoded and modified by currently ubiquitous digital means. In addition, various software platforms now exist which, with varying levels of flexibility, allow users to generate their own instruments.
The modern musician is subject to a barrage of persuasion from manufacturers of music technology. The general implication is that buying new tools leads to being able to make new and exciting music. While it is true that certain degrees of freedom are added by new equipment, it is not the case that this entails wholesale musical innovation. What seems more likely is that new clichés are generated by users unanalytically being forced into certain actions by the architecture of the machine. For me it is parallel, if not synonymous with a dogmatic consumer mentality that seems to hold that our lives are always improved by possessions.
Imagine the conception of structural rules to do with electric guitars before and after Jimi Hendrix. An instrument is always open to re-definition. Thus I encourage anybody remotely interested in making music to boldly investigate exactly what the rules are to which you, as a modern musician, are subject. Only thus can you have a hope in bending and ultimately rewriting them.

Aphex Twin
Aphex Twin (Richard David James,18 de agosto de 1971), é um artista de música electrônica, que também atua como DJ, nascido na Irlanda, mas criado na região da Cornuália, Inglaterra. Um dos inventores do gênero IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), foi considerado pelo jornal inglês The Guardian como "a mais influente e criativa figura da música eletrônica contemporânea"[1].
Seu trabalho é marcado por linhas harmônicas sombrias e elaboradas, batidas originais e abrasivas e pela originalidade da textura dos sons que cria. Utiliza diversos outros codinomes, tais como AFX, Bradley Strider, Caustic Window, Gak, Polygon Window, Power Pill e Q-Chastic. [1]

Peter Hutton
Um dos nomes em destaque na secção Work in Progress da 15ª edição do Curtas Vila do Conde é o cineasta experimental Peter Hutton. Para os espectadores habituais do Festival, Hutton não é nenhum estranho, já que as 3ª e 12ªs edições do Curtas mostraram já dois dos seus trabalhos – “New York Portrait 2” e “Skagafjördur”. O seu regresso faz-se agora de uma forma mais extensa, com a apresentação de 6 filmes (alguns dos quais serão objecto dos já habituais filmes-concerto): “New York Portrait: Chapter One”, enquadra a cidade de Nova Iorque numa triste e melancólica noite de Inverno, “New York Portrait: Chapter Two”, é o conjunto de observações diárias de Manhattan ao longo de um período de 12 meses (1980-1981), “New York Portrait: Chapter Three”, prossegue a relação de Hutton com Nova Iorque, mas desta vez recorrendo a imagens de arquivo, “Lodz Symphony” é um retrato de Lodz, na Polónia, “Skagafjördur” é um registo das paisagens do norte da Islândia e também um trabalho sobre o rio Hudson, e, finalmente, “Study of a River”, a primeira parte de um retrato sazonal do mesmo rio Hudson. A juntar à exibição deste conjunto de filmes, o Curtas apresentará em estreia mundial o mais recente projecto do cineasta americano, “At Sea”, que pode ser muito resumidamente descrito como o nascimento, a vida e a morte de um barco. Peter Hutton estará no Festival para acompanhar esta mostra seleccionada da sua carreira, e dará também uma lecture onde discursará sobre as particularidades da sua obra.
