Marvin Ayres (Electronic Prog)

"like some of (Brian) Eno's best work, the atmospheres Ayres creates can comfortably blend into the sonic backdrop, they are also compelling pieces of music that can dominate and transport." All About Jazz

Ayres has recorded a diverse selection of ambient and 'string design' albums, as well as produced a number of sensual jazz and film soundtracks that combine classical technique with free-form extemporization.

In 1999 he was signed to the avant-garde label Mille Plateaux as composer/producer, and released two ambient albums, Cellosphere and Neptune to critical acclaim.

His reputation as producer and performer came to the attention of Jaki Liebezeit (ex CAN), who invited him to re-mix tracks and tour with Liebezeit's band Club off Chaos in early 2001. Ayres is currently commissioned by Einsturzende Neubauten's electronica music publishers Freibank , and his compositions have been featured on five of Freibank's 'For Films' albums.

Words from his official website (http://www.marvinayres.com/)

He also have a project with Sonja Kristina (from Curved Air) called Mask (http://mask.uk.net/)

I think it'll fit right in Electronic side of PA, the last album Eccentric Deliquescence is quite fantastic (read my review here in my site http://progshine.com/?page_id=2524)
