Lost Garden were a project from Nick Robinson and Andy Peake (ex Comsat Angels) creating a dark ambient (or pick your own genre!) sound. Their debut album was Cotyledon on English Electric Records. The two musicians meshed beautifully (often impossible to identify who plays what!) and compare the performance process to “painting with sound” where dynamics and timbre are key elements. They used keyboards, guitars and loops to improvise pieces – captured and taken back to the “studio” for re-arranging, mixing and post-treatment.

Sadly, Andy’s schedule didn’t allow him to continue with the project and it folded. Their projected second album “Senescence” has since been released on bandcamp. Nick has Nicked the band name for his first solo album, just to muddy the waters…
