Freeze Etch
Freeze Etch is the solo endeavor of Indiana-based electronic producer Adam Duckworth. The FE sound has been described as being "equal parts ambient, drone, minimalist, IDM and bits of industrial all together." Drawing on approximately ten years of classical piano training, his music incorporates rich melodic influence and brooding elemental qualities amidst driving industrial rhythms and textures. Adam is also a club/radio DJ, and works closely with graphic artist/illustrator/web designer Eric Carl.

Vessels
Over four years in the making and clocking in at just over an hour -- Vessels, the first proper full-length Freeze Etch album, is a dynamic excursion into a world of thick organic rhythms, striking melodic textures, and surging ambient momentum. By turns sparkling and pristine and by others ugly and smoldering, Vessels explores the brooding tensions between dynamically opposed auras, employing textures which are at once terrestrial and alien, as well as melodic structures which merge skilled composition with the ambiguous flood of drone.
Helios II

Helios was originally released on Immanence Records in 2003. Helios II contains each track from the original release in re-mastered form plus a series of rar and unreleased tracks - including a remix by Daniel Myer of Haujobb/Architect.
