Finglebone

about

finglebone aka Adam Varney was born in 1979 in Salisbury UK. He started playing guitar at the age of 12 and was writing songs as soon as he learnt simple chords and scales. Over the years he developed a wider musical taste thanks to the influence of friends and began to experiment with basic recording techniques involving two tape cassette recorders. The often warped effect of continuously re-recorded tapes gave finglebone a homemade/lo-fi sound and gave his music a crackle and distinct sound. During the mid-nineties Adam and his friend James E.M. Smith began playing together and recording the results on a series of 4-track tapes, as many as 30 tapes were recorded and mixed during this time. These meetings were mainly improvised after a warm up of covers and were known as the 'Soda Stream' sessions. The master tapes have since been lost with only scraps of this time mixed to master tapes and digitised. In 1999 Adam attended University at Bath Spa to study a course in Creative writing and music, here he used his time to develop his music more than study and after a stressful two years dropped out and entered in to the world of dead end jobs. The only plus side to Bath was the meeting between Adam and Mike Arnold, a fellow student was the first official release of finglebone material on Mike's Scandinavian Fashion Head Label. The EP was known as finglebone - 'towers' due to the cover design by James. The music was a mixture of instrumental pieces, loops and experiments bu
