Transparent Sound was originally formed in 1994 by Orson Bramley and Martin Brown, making it one of the UK's longest running electro acts. After Martin left the duo to pursue other avenues some years ago, Transparent Sound has continued with Orson at the helm. Orson grew up during the heady days of acid house’s first wave in 1987/88. Originally a fan of early electro acts and the breakin’ scene that accompanied it, he was turned on by the illicit electronic thunk and hypnotic grooves of house and techno. Not that he completely lost touch with his roots: in the early ‘90s Orson was a member of legendary UK hip hop act/breakdance crew, Severe Carnage. These days Orson’s style takes in various flavours of electronic funk. Alongside the project he also runs Orson Records (launched in 2004) and in 2019 he introduced the world to his Empty Orchestra side project, and the re-launch of the new Transparent Sound label. “After seeing the rise of vinyl sales again over the last few years and some of the classic early Transparent Sound releases soar in value, I felt people were ready for Electro properly now and may even be getting tired with the usual 4/4” says Orson, promising “high quality forward thinking Electro that isn’t scared to take a few risks.” The first two releases on the label (Empty Orchestra ‘Nervous Smile’ and Transparent Sound ‘What Is Your Name?’) have already set the bar high and will be followed by a new Transparent Sound album, ‘Gently Evil’ to be released in September 2019.
