about

Dirty Inputs is Aaron Dawson, an electronic musician and video artist based in Toronto, Canada. Dawson was part of the Toronto ambient drone collective Off The International Radar and has shared the stage with the likes of Holy Fuck, A Place To Bury Strangers, Junior Boys, Hauschka, Growing, Nadja, Nonotak, God Is An Astronaut, Quintron and many others. Dirty Inputs’ euphoric synth-driven soundscapes search for the realm between the beautiful and the terrifying, which has created a body of work that is often dark and brooding, and other times joyful and emotional.

"Dirty Inputs is all about luscious soundscapes built with synthesizers. Rarely has music sounded this epic and inspiring, with an unmatched intensity."
- Suoni Per Il Popolo Festival

"Dirty Inputs treads the territory between spectral ambient works and the synthesized soundscapes of krautrock."
- Burn Down The Capital

Age of Austerity is Dirty Inputs' eighth release, and second on Toronto label Paper+Sound. The EP is four songs with four videos, creating a visual album that intersects with various spirits of ambient music; the progressive house-ish sci-fi epic Final Flight, quietly industrial Signal Returning, ominous leviathan Back To Zero, and the ethereal one-take drone of Stellar Nursery. Vast expanses, yet with definite movements through their landscapes. Together, the music and imagery form a hypnotic travelogue across Earth and space. Includes a newly remastered version of Final Flight, mastered by Heiki Sillaste.

Dirty Inputs Toronto, Ontario

Dirty Inputs' synth-driven soundscapes search for a balance between the beautiful and the terrifying. The deeply complicated relationship between nature and technology. At times dark and brooding and at others joyful and emotional.
