On 29 January 2019, Todd Sines was a guest on Delivery Presents: Haan. Todd Sines has been played on NTS shows including Bergsonist, with Svon (Clint Taurus Mix) first played on 5 November 2014.

Multidisciplinary artist, director + musician Todd Sines forged his DIY approach 30 years ago in his teenage hobby, making zines—interviewing Coil, Chris & Cosey, :Zoviet*France, Meat Beat Manifesto, PIL’s Martin Atkins, and UR’s Mad Mike.

Inspired by early electro, pop and hip-hop like Art of Noise, Herbie Hancock & Whodini, Todd Sines began creating music in the late 80’s, ranging from post-punk and industrial, to techno and house. He swapped his bass for an analogue synth in 1991, beginning a lifelong gearlust of all things tactile and analogue. While at The Ohio State University, he was the last student to study modular synthesis under former Stockhausen student Dr. Thomas Wells, the author of the seminal 1981 study “The Technique of Electronic Music” (Schirmer Books) [who helped him launch Analogue Heaven, the world’s first analogue synthesis focused electronic mailing list, 27 years and running.]

In 1993, his music caught the ear of Carl Craig and Daniel Bell, who helped him release records on the Planet E, 7th City and Peacefrog labels as .xtrak and Enhanced in the mid '90s. Over the last two decades he’s worked with and remixed Yoko Ono, Alexander Robotnick, Robert Owens, Paul Randolph, and Sal Principato of Liquid Liquid, while his live performances and DJ gigs have been featured in art spaces like MoMA PS1, Creative Time, the Wexner Center for the Arts; festivals like Movement, Roskilde, and Sonar, and clubs like London's Fabric and Berlin's Berghain, Panorama Bar, and Tresor. His recording studio, featured in the 2014 documentary I Dream of Wires, still features a nearly all-analogue hardware environment, with tape machines, sequencers, synthesizers, and many DIY / home-brewed instruments, conjuring a future-thinking sound from times past.

HELIC.AL, his new label with long-time collaborator Charles Noel, draws on this history; condemned to repeat itself. Their debut release, Interval — Transmit is out now; with their latest project, Artefactos de Dolor, featuring the Bunker’s LDY OSC / Alyssa Barrera on vocals, is out in March 2019.
