Ellen O’Maley, originally from Newcastle, born to Irish parents, moved to Canada in her late teens to study music at UBC in Vancouver. While attending the University she met Bernard Davies and Victor Beaudet, co-producers of the late 90’s cult project ‘Photodementia’, who’s most renowned 3rd release was re-issued with warm reception in 2011, as the debut release of a label archiving the project. *Ellen joined Photodementia as an occasional conspirator, who interviews of the time quote as being ‘inspired by late 70’s/early 80’s New York New Wave, Krautrock & the UK electronic scene, Cabaret Voltaire, Human League etc’. *Figure 4 is most of an unreleased LP Ellen and Victor recorded shortly after the Beaudet/Davies original Photodementia sessions, in Washington DC. The 7 tracks run in at just under half an hour, ranging from roughly 120-140 BPM. The band’s influences are clear from the music, as is their virtual Venn diagram involving piers such as Dopplereffekt, Underground Resistance, Hashim, Plaid, Beltram etc. The music has an original and unique quality all the same, from sinister dance groovers to light soothing tunes, the production shines through, not showing it’s age at all yet. Music from the past that remains Futuristic, it belongs in your record collection. *More Photodementia releases follow in 2013, a compilation CD is hot on the heels of this EP and a full length album by a new signing to the label is nearing completion now.
