ABOUT GARETH JONES
Gareth Jones is a British noisemaker, musician & music producer.

Gareth has always found transformative inspiration in recorded music and has dedicated his life to the form. An initial training at the BBC in the late 1970s led to this 45 year arc exploring the art of capturing and creating magical vibrations inside and outside the recording studio.

He started this journey at Pathway Studios in London and helped build the Garden studio in Shoreditch. In the early 80s he moved to Berlin for 10 years and worked at the legendary Hansa complex, where he continued experimenting with recording the space around the music (making, amongst many other projects, the 'Berlin Trilogy' with Depeche Mode). Since then he has worked extensively throughout Europe and North America.

In the early 90s he moved back to London to a production room at Strongroom Studio, where he was for 15 years. He returned to Strongroom in 2013.

Gareth was a pioneer in the use of digital equipment (including the then-new sampling technology) and combined this with analogue recording techniques and a love of electronic instruments. His current works fuses modern digital tools with an analogue soul.

Gareth finds personal musical joy in collaboration through his modular synthesis work. He has explored the deep power of the electronic drone with his Spiritual Friendship project with Nick Hook after an inspiring residency in Moog Sound Space. In 2018 he partnered with Christopher Bono, yielding the albums Without Falsehood (2019) and A Walk In The Woods (2021), both of which were recorded in the Catskill Mountains. He released his solo debut album, ElectroGenetic, in 2020. He writes and performs with Quinquis.

He is one half of Sunroof with Mute founder Daniel Miller. After their focus on remixing other artists, Sunroof have embraced live performance and released three volumes of Electronic Music Improvisations through Mute's Parallel Series.

ELECTROGENETIC 2 - NOS DA

The second solo album by noisemaker Gareth Jones.
A reflection on memory, sound and sonic exploration.

Released as two separate limited CD editions on January 21 through mortalitytables.bandcamp.com



The Making of ElectroGenetic 2 – Nos Da: A Reflection on Memory, Sound, and Sonic Experimentation

Nos Da is both a personal document and an artistic gesture – an album that weaves together memory, family connection, and the creative potential of modular synthesis. At its core is my relationship with my father and the profound effect his record collection had on me. These records were never just sounds – they were portals: to feeling, to texture, to imagined places. I grew up listening to them. In fact, I like to think I started listening before I was even born.

The album’s title, Nos Da, comes from a childhood misunderstanding. Each night, as he tucked me into bed, my father would say “Nos Da” – Welsh for “Good night.” But I misheard it as “no star.” Even so, those words wrapped me in safety. Revisiting that phrase now, I understand what he was really saying. This album is my way of saying it back to him: “Good night, and thank you.”

The final track, ‘Parting’, carries that intention most clearly. After his death, I discovered a vinyl recording he had made in a booth, years before I was born. It was a spoken message for my mother before she left on a long journey. In it, he speaks of love and distance, and of being strong in parting. Hearing his voice again in that moment was deeply moving – and I knew I wanted to bring it into this album. I’ve reframed it – not to interfere with his message to her, but to honour our own relationship. In ‘Parting’, the piece becomes a quiet posthumous conversation between father and son.

Much of this album was made away from my usual studio. Four pieces were composed in a countryside hotel in England, using Eurorack modules like Maths, Mimeophon, Wogglebug, and QPAS. These weren’t being used as conventional sound sources—they were collaborators in sonic unpredictability. I let them speak, and followed where they led.

Six more pieces came to life on a hotel terrace overlooking the Aegean Sea in Greece. I was working with a tiny modular case, just enough to sketch and build. The peaceful, expansive atmosphere shaped the tone and texture of those tracks. A year later, I returned to the same place and created the final two pieces on an iPad – no cables, no patching, just immediacy and flow.

In sum, Nos Da is a record shaped by listening, by remembering, and by a desire to transmit meaning through sound. It is at once intimate and exploratory, fusing modular synthesis with archival audio, analog warmth with digital immediacy. It stands as a sonic farewell, a form of time travel, and a quietly radical act of reconnection across generations.
