Pye Corner Audio is the enigmatic guise of British electronic musician Martin Jenkins, widely known for his distinctive blend of haunting electronica, analog synths, and shadowy ambience. Since bursting onto the experimental scene in the early 2010s, Pye Corner Audio has garnered critical acclaim for the darkly nostalgic undertones evoked through his music, intertwining elements of library music, electronica, and horror soundtracks.

Jenkins operates under this moniker to produce a tapestry of retro-futuristic sounds, largely characterized by his signature "hauntology," a term borrowed to describe music that evokes cultural memories and the aesthetics of the past. The "Black Mill Tapes" series, a cornerstone of his discography, is a sonic exploration through murky atmospheres and lo-fi textures, offering an aural experience akin to exploring forgotten archives. Notably, the 10th Anniversary Box pays homage to this seminal work, encapsulating its deepest essences. With releases like "Entangled Routes" and "The Spectral Corridor," Pye Corner Audio continues to innovate within the realm of synth-based music, all while maintaining the shadowy, otherworldly quality that has become his hallmark. Jenkins' work is not simply music; it's an immersive descent into a parallel history of electronic sound, resonating with those who seek refuge in the spectral echoes of the past.
