Idea Fire Company
**Idea Fire Company** is a long-running experimental music project formed in the late 1980s by Scottish artists Michael Begg and Claire Thomas. Known for their genre-blurring soundscapes that weave together drone, ambient, industrial, and avant-garde elements, the duo crafts immersive, often unsettling audio collages using found sounds, electronics, and textural explorations. Their work frequently incorporates themes of architecture, decay, and esoteric history, as hinted by releases like *E.1027* (named after architect Eileen Gray’s modernist villa) and *The Terrible Comet Salt*.
Active for over three decades, Idea Fire Company has built a cult following through live performances (documented in their *Live Archives* series) and collaborations with artists like David Tibet (Current 93) and Colin Potter (Nurse With Wound). Their recent output, including *Lost at Sea* and *Beauty School*, continues their tradition of merging eerie atmospheres with poetic abstraction, solidifying their status as outsiders in the experimental underground.
