Augustine Leudar was born in the Britain and started working with sound in the late eighties . Originally entranced by bizarre music such as the Residents and Ligeti, throughout the nineties Leudar pursued a more experimental and electronic direction and released several works some of which were featured on John Peel's Radio One show. He was also involved in the British free party DJing or playing live in a variety of unlikely situations and places. Throughout this period he became increasingly interested in Electroacoustic music. He also trained as a sound engineer and writes his own software and makes hi fidelity field recordings to achieve a wide range of special effects for games and film;

The music has taken an even more experimental direction since spending half the time living in the forests and dustbowls of the Peruvian Amazon . He makes electronic music inspired by the rural enviroments where he lives (most of the time) and mythology. His aesthetics include working towards creating "holographic" music . Recently activities included creating a new scale based on whole number ratios . He has performed at various galleries and festivals both at home and abroad including the National Gallery of the Czech republic the "Rudolfinum".

Although self taught for most of his life he recently finished studying as BSC in "Sonic Arts" at Middlesex University .

New directions include sound sculptures, 5.1 soundtracks and strange installations the most recent being a surround sound fairy mound.
