Dubtext is Lawrence Brock and Robert Popovic, and we create music within a series of self-imposed constraints:

1. No computers – not for making the music anyway (exception made for recording our performances)
2. Only improvisation – no pre-programmed sequences or patterns – everything is created live, in front of the audience
3. No expensive ‘vintage’ gear – most of what we use is relatively cheap and available in local stores (we support Bungalow Bill and Music Planet in Auckland).
The decision not to sequence anything in advance means we don’t play “songs” in the sense of compositions that are repeated. Everything the audience hears is improvised on the night from start to finish. We have a lot of fun coaxing musical sounds out of our table-top of noise boxes and effects units.

Every performance is therefore utterly unique and never to be repeated. Dubtext music can vary from ambient dub to psychedelic techno or trippy trance.
