Jon Attwood grew up with the tail end of punk and post-punk of the early 80s, playing in a few London punk bands around 81-84 before moving to the suburbs. Following flirtations with goth, folk and Stax/Motown soul during the 90s, Jon Attwood started Yellow6 as a solo guitar project, initially inspired by space/post-rock, electronica and reverb soundscapes. A debut single in 1998 on Enraptured started a flood of releases over the following decade, and in 2010 is approaching 80 releases on almost as many labels.In the time since that debut single, Yellow6 has released 9 official albums, a further 20 cdr albums, and myriad singles, compilations and remixes (over 250 tracks totalling 30+ hours).  Yellow6 material has appeared in film (American Nightmare, August Evening, 9732) and TV productions (Staying Lost, Wasted, Petrol Wars) and there have been over 60 live shows in Europe and North America since a debut in 2001.One of the founders of Make Mine Music, Jon has launched the Editions6 imprint to issue future Yellow6 releases.  The latest of these is CUT, a 70 minute album exploring minimalism and repetition, in addition to the themes of previous releases where elements of post-rock, ambient, drone and Americana meet in layers of guitar arpeggios and melodies.

In 2000, Simeon recorded his first ambient album, called Realms of Elements. It was pretty rough and ready, but the positive feedback he got from it encouraged him to delve deeper into the textural side of guitar playing. He recorded The Assessment in 2003, Mechanoia in  2004 and Captured, his second soundscapes album, in 2006. The Assessment was distributed by Alternity Records in 2005 and Simeon recorded a new track for the album especially for the release. His latest album eScape, distributed by Digital Nations, fuses deep ambient textures with rock, dub, electronica and eastern influences, to create an experience that’s dark, emotional and uplifting.

 Simeon continues to work with Zillo, and is planning two more solo releases to be completed by mid 2011 – a quartet of ambient albums and live/studio project.
