| Like all great DJs Doctor When has slaved hard in the
studios to sculpt his sound, using techno rhythms and sampled loops in
a hardcore psychedelic rave style. Unlike all DJs, Doctor When began crafting
his music in the techno-wasteland of Ireland. His musical isolation infused
with manic energy has generated a unique sound for sophisticated clubbers
who want more from their dance music. Doctor When's long-awaited debut
release is due out in 2009. |
| (History) |
| Doctor When grew up in an enviable position; his father,
Terence Bourne is a well known flamenco guitarist (www.terencephillipbourne.com)
and music always surrounded him. As a child Doctor When had access to a
music shop through his father's connections. Making full use of it, Doctor
When puttered around on keyboards and organs every chance he could. His
schooling gave him an additional opportunity to train on drums. |
| Unwilling to settle on just one instrument, Doctor When
began experimenting on his computer with Dance Ejay 2 to generate his own
tracks in 2002. Too far away from the mainstream techno clubs on the continent
to hear what was currently hot on the dance floor, Doctor When worked in
secrecy until he was discovered by Dark World International. |
| Upgrading his sampling software to Techno Ejay 4 (Rave),
Doctor When was persuaded to release three original songs on the Dark World
International promotional CD 'Noorderslag 2006' while completing his studio
training at the Dark World Experimental School of Music. The massive attention
he received from techno and rave fans prompted him to continue writing
new material. |
| (Present Project) |
| While balancing a busy personal schedule, Doctor When
managed to get into the Dark World International studios to begin recording
his debut release, due out in 2009. Now mixing purely in the Dark World
studios Doctor When uses the lush richness of real analog instrumentation
in his tracks. |
| According to Doctor When, his move from computers to
studio recording has given him more control over his sound. "Although
many of my early recordings were naturally experimental in nature and fairly
limited due to inbuilt sample banks, the recent spurt of live studio work
in Dark World studios has given me endless possibilities of live sampling,
mixing and remixing of my own tracks and samples. I'm really looking forward
to this summer, where I'll be able to get back into the studio and get
back to brewing up some more 24 track experimental Madness! The short term
plan is to get a substantial stash of studio tracks done and mixed to send
it out for release hopefully by the end of the year, with the eventual
goal of playing out live further down the road, hopefully advancing to
European clubs and venues when the time comes." |
| In anticipation of his upcoming debut CD, Doctor When
has released 'Stilton Dreams' as a DRM free internet download. Immediately
becoming one of the most accessed MP3 downloads at www.darkworld.com, 'Stilton
Dreams' has now been spidered to MP3 sites around the world. New tracks from Doctor When also appear on Dark World's 'Winter Dance Compilation 2008' (physical CD manufactured by CreateSpace), available now online. |
