Search - The Away Team :: Aliens on Line

Female vocals, electronic sound designs and explorations, quirky pop tunes, groove, weird ambience. Away Team members Nik Green and Penny Little/Savage both migrated from signed bands to create a hybrid music, resulting in their album "Aliens on Line ". : "Have you be abducted lately, have you been away, on some crazy cyber planet, have they anything to say..." . The title track from the album was a "virtual hit" on mp3.com, perhaps because of it's virtual implications. Live and recorded, The Away Team use loops, sequencers, synthesizers and esoteric sound design processing tools to mangle and manipulate sounds.Many of the unusual voices and effects on the album, including the voice of the fish, and various other "computer" voices are actually Penny's voice. Away Team performances also tend to feature elements of performance art; Penny is currently designing a new midi instrument to allow her to dance and interact rather than "stand behind a pieces of hardware and furniture (keyboards)".
