Welding live instrumentation (strings, xylophone, trumpet, etc) to fractured, scorched digital rhythms, found sounds and voices, David Kosten has created music both sonically formidable and emotionally involving – a collision that’s won him some influential fans.

The title track includes a sample of Dennis Hopper’s voice from Blue Velvet. Kosten obtained permission directly from Hopper and David Lynch, both of whom requested copies of the LP. Awake was featured in mutated form on Leaf’s Speedranch^Jansky Noise present Welcome To Execrate mix CD, and Faultline’s debut live performance at that album’s launch event at the Scala attracted over 400 people. Mute features legendary 66-year old trumpeter Ian Carr, and was remixed by Third Eye Foundation and Buckfunk 3000 for Faultline’s last single. The harmonica on ‘Partyline Honey’ is by Mark Feltham, best known for his work on Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden.
