Todd garners inspiration from artists such as John Cage, Autechre, Scanner, Throbbing Gristle and Pink Floyd to name but a few. His constant experimentation with different hardware and software bolsters his enthusiasm to create. Todd is known to enjoy a Martini when he’s not delving into the finer intricacies of sequencing.

Sheila also plays with Collette McCaslin in Alien Planet and in experimental super group Thomas Carnacki.

Sheila's hair is pretty messy these days, so please come to the show to give her advice on how to deal with this.
