I created the entity "Haslam" in 1999 in an endeavor to produce not just music, but a sound experience which takes the listener on a private journey of reflection and visualization. Through exploration into the depths of tonal adjustment and a mixture of minimal beats, my sound evokes ritual and fantasy born, at least in part, from my frustration with the popular music culture. My sound is a concoction of droning tones and minimal beats using patient expression, mixed liberally with strange noise and dark melody. Very tasty for the ear, the music doesn't just offer a "listening snack", but rather feasts for those with a hearty listening appetite.
Since "Haslam's" inception, my published tracks have been included on:
"Sheltered Shadows", a compilation of drones and related rrtifacts, released by Burning Shirt Label @ www.BurningShirt.com
"The Sowing", a compilation featuring the aural alchemy of 10 amazing artists, whose track selections range from dark ambient to mind expanding noise, relased by Dark Seeds Label @ www.DarkSeeds.com
"I have yet to go deeper....", a solo realease with 6 tracks by Haslam, featured on Dark Seeds Label @ www.DarkSeeds.com
Other experimentations are in the works, both solo and collaborative.. I will keep you posted...

Hi Haslam, I like what I hear on your page. Very haunting, very mysterious. Would you consider sending ma a CD of your instrumentals so that I may play you on THE DARK ROOM? (address on my page) ;) Cheers from Los Angeles DJ Delphinus
