Under the alias NPNP, Jackson Darby—a multimedia artist, composer, producer, and sound engineer—ventures boldly into abstract sonic territories, utilizing modular synthesizers and advanced recording techniques. Known also as label head at Personal Records and Cold Cache Records, disc maker at Personal Touch, and beat meanderer at Fire Belly, Darby's performances are rich, layered explorations of sound.
