Notes.<\/strong>
\nOn his new release, I\u2019ll Be Good EP<\/em>, Setec utilises found-sound percussion alongside looped guitar and cascading layers of his own voice to create a unique, headphone-focused sonic universe.
\n\u201ceasily fit[s] into the burgeoning generation of new producers tailoring their technique to an organic synthesis of electronic composition with more traditional instruments and textural samples in a pop framework. With the role of vocals and the extent of immersion in the novel moments that heavy sampling creates, Setec has found a strong balance that compliments the cadence and character of his voice, bringing it loudly to the fore or allowing it recede; in both situations either situated at the center of ordered sample conflagrations on repeat or, less dramatically, keeping a jaunty pace with their separate machinations.\u201d<\/em>
\nDecoder Magazine<\/a>
\n\u201cWhisking away into a rustic parallel world of refracted lights and cascading gamma rays, woollen jackets and snow blindness, the looping and graceful percussive interlay on display, along with Gibbs\u2019 great vocals, evokes likeminded sonic slicers such as Cornelius and The Avalanches.\u201d<\/em>
\nSonic Masala<\/a>
\n\u201ca wonderful collage of \u201cfound-sound percussion alongside looped guitar and cascading layers of his own voice\u201d, that ends up as a beautifully chilled-out series of tracks\u201d<\/em>
\nLife Is Noise<\/a>
\n\u201cBeautiful experimental music that is rich with atmosphere.\u201d

Biography.<\/strong>
\nEqually as influenced by the complex melodies of Joni Mitchell as he is by the cut-n-paste aesthetic of Cornelius or The Avalanches, Setec (the moniker of Sydney-based solo artist Joshua Gibbs) is a musical attempt to blend the organic with the electronic; to meld the fleeting flickers of the past with nostalgia for a future that is yet to happen.
\nHaving previously released the ambient EP Longer Letters<\/em>, his music has received attention on both Triple J and FBi Radio, and has been featured in promotional videos for Triple J\u2019s One Night Stand on ABC.
