Nebulus was the name I gave to a series of sonic experiments I made around the turn of the millennium. I had tinkered with sound and domestic recording equipment since my teenage years but it was while Purity Cries was active that I started exploring in earnest.

Ian was the principal technologist within Purity Cries and much of the band’s electronic foundation was built around his equipment and knowledge. Nebulus became my own parallel avenue for experimentation. By then I had assembled a small home studio of sorts with a synth workstation and spent a great deal of time sequencing, creating sounds and exploring what the technology could do. Few of the pieces were ever properly finished but I learned an enormous amount in the process.

By the time Purity Cries ended, I had grown weary of electronic music. Nebulus consequently faded around the time I joined Reeved. It was never a conventional band or even a particularly organised project but it marked the point where my own relationship with music technology began to take shape.
