Label Description:

OF ONE is the latest vehicle for Dublin’s Alan O’Boyle, who has been prominent in electronic music since the ’90s with Decal, Decoy, Legion of Two (with David Lacey) and Legion Of One. His work in various guises has appeared on labels such as Planet Mu, Rotters Golf Club, D1 Recordings, Satamile, Leaf, Law & Auder and Sabrettes.

“Textures” is the fourth OF ONE album and the first for Cruel Nature Records.

Start with a static texture – a drone, some feedback, a noise loop – and then build. Sometimes the texture that seeded the composition survives the process intact and part of a bigger picture (“Please Answer. Please.”), sometimes it appears briefly as a reminder of the beginnings (“To Exceed On A Full Moon”) and sometimes it becomes the entire composition (“Into The Process”).

Written, recorded, compiled and edited by Alan O’Boyle from a week of experiments in July 2025.
