Mercury Effect is the solo sound based project of Thomas Faulds. One of the most active IDM artists in Chicago, The project was started in 2003 and explores the world of microsound, glitch, Jungle, beat manipulation and sound textures. All sounds are created from scratch, either sampled from the envirement or synthezised inside a computer. Sounds are deconstructed and built up using an immense variety of techniques and equipment. The intricate drum programming comes from hours of intense editing to create a dense tapestry of glitchy, brain tickling rhythms. Atmospheres are created through a dub-like process of improvising live with a mixing board and an effects unit. With this combination, a dynamic, alien, yet organic soundspace is acheived. In short, Mercury Effect is a revolution in sound. This is the soundtrack to a confrontation between innerspace and outerspace. With this music, a paradigm shift is here. Music version 2.0. Mercury effect has releases on international labels such as Xynthetic, Sixteensteps.com, and DirtyDemos. Thomas is also one half of electronica duos Silences Sumire, Wosko/Faulds, Venus Light, and Lyrical Siberia.
