glasgow based alan bryden aka sidewinder is a full time musician
and dj, producing four singles for fenetik music. the sidewinder
sound has been a compilation staple for the last few years, with
appearances on the hundred thousand selling, æall back to mineÆ
mix by groove armada for dmc back in 2000 to the more recent
æchillout session summer 2003Æ for ministry of sound.
his music has been no less of a hit around the world with everyone
from naked music & guidance (us), universal jazz (germany), zub
music (spain) fat city(uk), musica alternativa (portugal) and even
global broadcasterslike hbo and sky all licensing sidewinder
tracks.
as an established dj and live performer, he is a resident at slam
club freelance science and a regular at the pressure nights. other
places played have included t in the park, fabric and the end in
london, the beat in edinburgh, food and session o in belgium, warm
in eindhoven and various clubs in sπo paulo.
as a classically trained cellist he has been absorbed in music
from a young age. as a teenager he achieved grade viii with merit
and he played for several years in the reading youth orchestra and
performed at venues like the royal albert hall, south bank centre,
st johns smith square and various venues in dusseldorf and
strasbourg as part of the 1989 festival of youth music in europe.
he first started goofing around with drum machines and
synthesisers many years ago while attending glasgowÆs school of
art. here he befriended another artist and musician, daniel
ibbotson and together they recorded some idiosyncratic, electronic
music, which saw the light of day courtesy of tony thorpe's
language records. this
creative encounter kickstarted alan's own particular style of
writing and recording and following the purchase of an akai
sampler he started to piece together tracks of his own. when
glaswegian dj and promoter paul cawley hooked up with soma and
launched fenetik music in 1998, alan's jazzy
sidewinder project became one of the labels first releases.
more recently he was selected to travel to sπo paulo brazil for
three weeks as part of a collaborative contemporary music project
organised by the british council. the idea behind this ambitious
project was to bring together a group of sixteen musicians from
both
scotland and brazil. the artistÆs chosen covered a wide range of
styles and backgrounds, the scottish selection included
traditional folk music, contemporary classical, jazz, indie and
electronica (represented by sidewinder). the brazilians were
equally diverse and included a guitarist, drummer, double bassist,
bossa nova pianist,
traditional vocalist and accordion player.
