Welcome

alpha seven (Pete Roberts) is an electronic musician and occasional (lapsed?) ambient DJ. He combines field recordings with hardware and software synths, including 'home-made' Reaktor ones. Everything from recording live improvisations through to meticulously mangling samples on a MacBook, nothing is off the table regarding technique.

Sofacom is the record label. Pete was also a founding member of Testcard F.
