Electronic musician Printy launches a new album with an immersive audiovisual performance at ARTCH Studio, with a free Bandcamp download of the album.
Printy is launching a new album at ARTCH Studios on Thursday 12 November, his first headline show in nearly thirty years. It's an audiovisual night, so you'll hear the record paired with projections, lighting and original visuals he's put together for the occasion.
Printy is an electronic musician and designer based in the North of England, and he works from the heart of a busy workshop. He describes his sound as coming from that environment: the hum of the machinery and the steady rhythm of the creative process shaping music that mixes structured, technical precision with the expansive, analogue warmth he draws from the textures of the industrial landscape. It's a description that fits the genres he works in — ambient, electronic, IDM and industrial — where the mechanical and the atmospheric sit side by side.
There's a bit of a full-circle story to the night. He studied Music Technology at Preston College around 1998 and made electronic music for several years after that, before work, a mortgage and family responsibilities put his career on hold around 2003. He returned to it in 2022, and his tracks have since received airplay on BBC Introducing. This is his first headline performance, and he chose Preston for it.
