Never to be pinned down, as two major players in the burgeoning "Adaphel" Acid House scene they came together over a shared love of early ambient electronic works and the lush atmospheric sounds of 4AD, determined to combine these influences with the jazzier house sounds for which they were known. Soon finding that this project took a more unintended direction into deep organic and ethereal soundscapes, which rapidly attracted them a growing fanbase, they decided to turn the project into their more experimental and eclectic outlet, not limiting themselves to any style in particular, instead focusing on fusion of organic ambient with psychedelic, new age, trip-hop, freeform, world fusion, darkwave and neoclassical, always bringing something new to the table and welding disparate styles seamlessly, especially in their famed mixes.

Inevitably, soon SPA became the in-demand duo's main outlet and they focused less upon their hugely succesful yet often uncredited hit production work. As time went on (and after influencing so many others) they pushed their sound in as many directions as was possible, drewing from such influences as Eno, Varèse, Love Spirals Downwards, Shpongle and, most lately The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble - whom some have likened to being the natural inheritors of the torch carried by SPA for so long in the dark in their blending of ambient and new jazz. However, despite the wealth of palettes to draw from SPA always succeed in combining these sounds into a fresh new atmospheres, providing along the way a ready supply of source materials new generations of remixers are ever eager to work with.

After a short hiatus in the late 90s in which Peron focused on establishing her jewelry chain with Simon spending some time in Indonesia on his ill-fated "Celdular" project, SPA returned in style with their crossover Celtic ambient release "Good Fortune", guesting with a number of singers in a progressive new style that nonetheless was a hit with their fans. In 2003 they struck lucky once again with a hit drum and bass remix of "Ela Doria", ushering in a period of popular collaborations in this style. With several projects and a number of collaborations in the works, it is clear there are many new chapters in the SPA story yet to be written.

An interesting experience with a bunch of excellent moments that inspire me for my own dark ambient work. I like the daring.

MKDVB

Appreciate the kind words! What's your setup for dark ambient? ITB, hardware, hybrid?

No Lake

Quite simple actually : Live 9, an Ableton Push and a Novation Summit. But most important, an infinite creativity (I didn't say good, I said infinite :-p )

MKDVB

@No Lake Oh man, how you like the Summit? I have a big poly hole in my studio right now ... lots of monos everywhere even though i prefer polys.

I put some tests on my channel. I’m just “studying” it for the moment and do nonsense impro with it but its capacities are infinite. I also prefer polys and the 16 voices are amazing.

MKDVB

@No Lake Yeah I checked out one of those vids ... it sounded a lot like your intro video about the earth, life, etc so wasn't sure what sounds I was hearing from Summit or Push. I used to have a Rev2, which spec-wise is very similar to Summit but it wasn't special enough for me vs how much I spent. I almost feel like I either have to spend a lot more (Prophet 6) or a lot less to be happy (Prologue). Meanwhile, I just don't have a poly.

Do you have any other synths to compare the Summit to?

Hi Davy, Nice jam! What are your thoughts on the Squarp Pyramid sequencer? Do you recommend it as a brain for a synth setup? Thank you.

MKDVB

Outside of the Cirklon, it's hard for me to think of another sequencer I'd recommend over it. The MIDI FX are my favorite feature & I've only used it to like 30% of its potential. Other sequencers I've had were Deluge, various Elektron boxes + ones on my Sequential keys, V-Synth, etc. I would recommend having at least one other supplementary sequencer in addition because the Pyramid has a "Pyramidi" mode so each of the tracks can be assigned to a MIDI note & triggered. Though maybe you can do that with just the Pyramid to route it into itself? I'll have to experiment.

But you know, much of this stuff is just what gells on a personal basis.

@MKDVB Thanks Davy! I am trying to create a DAWLESS set up, using hardware only. I am on the waiting list for the Cirklon, but it's an 18 month wait. The Pyramid looks like it can work and I thinking of pairing it with the NDLR by conductive labs- do you think this is redundant with the Pyramid? I appreciate your insight, thanks so much!

MKDVB

@Adam Johnson Oh man, I hate to make a judgement on an item I haven't laid hands on. The NDLR looks cool, just watched the Loopop review. It's like Band in a Box for ambient music! I would say I think the Pyramid could do a lot of what the NDLR does but you'd have to "do the work" yourself ... the interface is not laid out like the NDLR & you may have less fine control over variations.

One thing I didn't see in the Loopop was whether NDLR could generate "melodies". Some would argue motifs are melodies but I didn't hear it in the Loopop video. Like I spent last night learning a melody the Pyramid spit out based on MIDI FX acting on a chord during a jam I posted on IG. This is why I love the Pyramid personally .... the variations & randomness to me just sound so musical to me.

I think the NDLR could be really cool if you work like Tycho-style, where you grab bits of jams & then work them later into cohesive tracks in the DAW, so maybe the NDLR could generate lots of raw sample material & passages.

Adam Johnson

@MKDVB Thanks Davy! Yeah, I was thinking maybe I could use the NDLR as an instrument to create evolving drone sounds that I can layer into a composition using the Pyramid. When I make some progress, I will let you know how it goes. Thank you again for the advice. I am subscribed to your channel and look forward to more videos! Very inspiring.
