Hybernation is the musical efforts of Stuart Bowditch. In 1999 I invested in a computer and some sequencing software to start making my own beats. A whole new world quickly opened up to me, a world where I could make beats that I could never play with just two arms and two legs. But I became bored of using the same old pre-programmed drum sounds and started to record sounds from around the house onto a mini disc with a microphone. I edited the sounds and started to make beats with them.
Then I ventured outside, to collect everyday sounds from the local environment, my place of work, in fact anywhere and everywhere. With my recorder and sequencer I could start to make sense of the discordant, disjointed busy world around me and make some sense of what is going on, to have some kind of understanding about what makes the world revolve, how things all have their place within the environment and how they all seemingly work together. Most importantly though, how I fit in to the world as a whole and to try to have a place within it which has some semblance of order and harmony.
