PORTAL — Waves & Echoes

"Portal is the project of multi-instrumentalist Scott Sinfield, occasionally featuring guest vocalists and other musicians. Since their inception in 1996, Portal have had numerous CD, vinyl and other format releases on several British, European and American independent labels. Portal's music won early support from legendary DJ John Peel, for whom a BBC Radio 1 session was recorded in 2000, and received acclaim from diverse sources including The Guardian, the NME and DJ Magazine. The music of Portal has shifted in style over the years, from lo-fi guitar-based ambient pop, to a more stripped back sample-based sound, to more recent material, released after a four-year hiatus, which saw Scott nod towards his early musical influences of classic 1980’s 4AD, Factory and Mute artists. Scott co-founded Make Mine Music with Jon Attwood of Yellow6 in 2002, and he oversees much of the day-to-day running of the label." [label info]
