Full-Source: The Nothing. April 5th 2004.
Full-Source, formed in 1998, is the main solo project of Tim Dwyer. Beginning with sample based collage and midi music, Full-Source evolved sonically over 5 years to the ambient / electronic / rock / techno soundscapes that it is today. Tim hasn't any traditional musical background and is self taught on piano. From 2000 to 2001, much experimentation in sound and music resulted in a few failed attempts at creating a cohesive album. In 2002, Full-Source finally released a debt self titled album of ambient techno tracks. A remastered version of the album was re-released in 2003. Also in 2003, the "A World to Enjoy EP" was released prior to the second album, "The Nothing". Full-Source has also done countless remixes, worked on sound tracks for various animations, and collaborated with music acts such as Misterbuster, Sisk and Second Thought.
The sound of the new Full-Source album, "The Nothing" has evolved greatly, compared to the first album. Many of the tracks still have an ambient atmosphere but now contain vocals, guitar textures, and piano. "The Nothing" is a theme based album. The Nothing refers to the growing hole inside of you: you try to fill this hole by taking comfort in other people and in the past, all the while remaining afraid yet hopeful of the future. Unfortunately, various hurdles, not in your favour leave The Nothing as this impossible object to destroy. Lost and alone. Wishing, wanting and missing what The Nothing blinds you from, may The Nothing be nothing more.

it'd be neater if albums didn't inspire people, but actual events, smells, memories... i think i'd have more respect for them.

The future brings both re-hashed and new. Following "The Nothing", the future of Full-Source is as always an uncertain path. In the works are an ambient album under the name The X:F System, a full-source DJ mix, and a third Full-Source album. The third album is set to be a dark ambient progtronic record.
Note from the label boss (moi): I first discovered Full-Source online as he was completing his very first songs. As Tim looks back at them as poor demos, it’s understandable to see why, but at the time I was very impressed. Probably because they were light years ahead of what I was making at the same time.
I think I’m there again. The Nothing is a true masterpiece of a record, and one I’m happy to have followed from its first stages of creation, going on for two years ago. For those who are only familiar with Tim’s previous self-titled mp3 album, this will probably be quite an unusual and unexpected disc.
'The Nothing' is the lyrical mood of the album, but possibly not the obvious musical mood. In this disc you’ll find electro, electroclash and mangled techno beats mixed with ambience and atmosphere: to put it simply, it’s unique.
Full-Source’s proper full-length debut is strictly limited to a hundred copies.

Mmm. I always have trouble finding inspirational 'records' to put down, my music's always inspired by places and ideas. This is just what Tim's said about his own music. ;)
