EntropiK is a composition-based duo with a passion for creating ethereal and cinematic soundscapes, drawing influences from classical, electronica, progressive and film music. Using the vast pallet of sounds and textures available from electronic formats, transforming the conventional sounds of guitar through cutting edge midi technology, the gentle burbling  of fretless bass and the dark, soulful voice of the cello, EntropiK takes the listener on an exotic journey where the destination matters far less than the sights and sounds on the way.

EntropiK have just released their debut album, Reflections on Time which can be purchased in part or full from and .

about Entropik

The people behind the music are composers Dan and Deryn Cullen. Dan’s background is in songwriting and producing, and has a passion for old school prog rock, Mahler and West Side Story. His instruments include guitar, bass and vocals. Deryn trained as a classical cellist and pianist, and is particularly fond of Beethoven, Fiddler on the Roof and AC/DC. Both are fond of wombats and wolves, and are partial to a rump steak with peppercorn sauce.

Dan and Deryn met on a musician’s networking site. Drawn instantly to each other’s musicality, decadence and depravity, they decided to collaborate on some songs that Dan was writing at the time. They met in person on Valentine’s Day 2006 and felt obliged to get married the following year.

As a musical duo, the pair have been through a few incarnations to find their sound, none of which involved cross-dressing. They have been seen and applauded busking on the streets of Leeds, and have performed Dan’s songs to enthusiastic audiences at venues including the Primrose and Doctor Wu’s. At the same time, they were composing and recording music for films, and the sound that is now EntropiK was born.

In two of their previous guises, they released a joint album called Empty Highways consisting of passionate songs by Striking Poses and instrumental pieces by Cellofiend, the predecessor of EntropiK. It is really rather fabulous, and in the interests of keeping these unique and fascinating musicians from starving, you should buy it straight away. By no means, however, should you feel the need to restrict your purchase history to Empty Highways. Reflections on Time, EntropiK’s debut album is coming very soon to an iTunes near you. Your music collection is incomplete without it.
