The sampled sonics of Pendle Poucher
Kick-started by the purchase of an antique Dulcitone, Pendle Poucher's Sound Dust samples are a perfect representation of the musician's experimental tonal nature. Based at the Toy Rooms Studio in Brighton, UK, Pendle made his entryway into the sonic scene as a guitarist in Rough Trade-signed band Butterfly Child, amassing sound and art installation experience before becoming a permanent sound technician for Natural Trust at Avebury Manor. Writing and producing music for BBC, DreamThinkSpeak, and beyond, Pendle has more than proved his musical prowess among the bright minds at Spitfire — making him the obvious choice for the role of designer in chief of the Spitfire Audio Sound Dust collection.
