about

Gagarin is the solo project of Graham " Dids" Dowdall. He makes instrumental electronica that doesn't adhere to any particular scene or style and draws on influences ranging from contemporary classical to techno and every point in between and beyond. The music is atmospheric, melodic and sometimes beaty.

Currently a member of avant rock legends Pere Ubu and Welsh-Iranian folktronica duo Roshi ft. Pars Radio, Gagarin has a long history of left-field musical promiscuity. Including a long period of collaboration with Nico ( Velvet Underground) and many dalliances along the way include John Cale, Ludus, Eric Random, Suns of Arqa, Band of Holy Joy, Low Bias, Zor Gabor and many more.

As Gagarin he has released several albums and contributed to numerous compiIations and remix projects.

His last album Biophilia received widespread acclaim andwas described in Mojo as " electronica in its rawest sense " and in Musicweek as " deeply beautiful glitchy electronica - stunning ". Other reviews and airplay include BBC Radio 3, BBC6 music, RTE, RUM, RNE, deBug, Westzeit, Rockerilla, Vital Weekly, Raveline and many more.

Under his given name Graham released an experimental cassette Outside Broadcast in 2014 through Touch's Tapeworm imprint which is based on sounds sourced from analogue radios ,and is a eulogy to that dying format.

Aoticp includes some elements from this alongside abstract grooves ,unstable synth melodies, floaty ambience, field recordings, grimey beats, glitch and noise.

Gagarin gigs regularly in UK and Europe with a hardware combination of drumpads, samplers, iPad and FX.

AOTICP is due for release on Geo Records through Kudos distribution on July 13th 2015.
The track Wandle was featured on Boiler Room debuts and is picking up airplay including repeated plays on Amazing Radio, Resonance fm ( including live session 30th May ), Hannover FM, Emmswechtevelle ( ger), RCV Lille ( France- repeated plays) Eldoradio ( Ger)RUM ( Portugal )BLN ( Ger) Musicpaper ( Greece)plus reviews in Rif Raf( Fr) Blow Up ( It ) .
