About

SND formed in Sheffield, United Kingdom, in 1998 by ex-art students Mark Fell and Mat Steel, and named after a Macintosh file extension. 3 critically acclaimed albums for Mille Plateaux, alongside the continuing series on their own label, put SND at the forefront of new digital minimalism, pioneering a sound that always influenced but also resisted the so called ‘clicks and cuts’ movement, that built-up around them.

After their third album Tenderlove for Mille Plateaux in 2002, SND became disillusioned with the recording treadmill and proliferation of the genre they seemed to inhabit, and turned to other projects such as solo work, curating events and installations, the occasional contribution to compilations, and an album for Raster Noton label from their side project Blir. Also remix work for the likes of Ryuichi Sakamoto, and sound design for fellow Sheffielders The Designers Republic. During this time they also honed their impressive live performance through extensive touring of Japan, America, and Europe (most notably with Autechre), and one-off shows at major festivals and venues around the world. Experiencing an SND performance can be alienating, engaging, dynamic, and unforgiving. Each event is a unique exploration of the relationship between performer, audience, software and context.

SND continued an active year in 2008, with another European tour supporting Autechre, a reworking of Billie Jean for the Recovery box set on Fractured Records, a major feature in the Wire magazine, a tour of Japan plus the recording of another album.

Their latest release in 2012 was a split album with NHK on PAN.
