Given birth to in 1971, Forte started tinkering with a acoustic guitar in the first 90s, later on adding computer digesting into his musical development. As fifty percent of the ambient punk duo, Xmas Adornments, Forte crafts lulling melodies with dark undercurrents bubbling under the surface area. He’s influenced by composers such as for example Gert-Jans Prins in addition to German genre-breakers like Can and Neu which, on Xmas Decorations’ amazing debut, Model 91, leads to beautiful, succinct items where anti-folk fulfills Brian Eno.
