  • FOUND are an experimental pop band and arts collective from Edinburgh, Scotland. The founding members, Ziggy Campbell, Tommy Perman and Kevin Sim met while studying fine art at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen. They began working on sound art installations together whilst in their final year at college in 2001. Since then they have collaborated on many weird and sometimes wonderful projects. Each project they do is given a catalogue number and documented on their website In 2005 they formed a band in order to play live music at the openings of their Stop Look Listen exhibition tour. They recruited the keyboard skills of Gavin Sutherland in the summer of 2005 and then Alan Stockdale joined on drums and percussion at the beginning of 2006. In 2006 FOUND released their debut 7", Mullokian (SP4502), and album, Found Can Move (SPCD01), on Tommy Perman's label Surface Pressure Records. They released two more 7"s from their debut album: Static 68 on Scottish label Creeping Bent and Synth Like Minds on Hamburg-based label Aufgeladen Und Bereit. In October 2006 FOUND took part in the inaugural BBC Electric Proms with an unusual collaboration with multimedia comedians (nobleandsilver). In 2007, FOUND were commissioned to create a major sound installation to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop. They produced a piece called Etiquette, which was funded by the PRSFoundation's award for new music and uses some of the technology developed by Reactable. Etiquette was displayed at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop's Magazine 07 exhibition, during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Newhaven, Edinburgh. FOUND's second album, This Mess We Keep Reshaping (FNC-085), is released on Fence Records (also see the Fence Collective). Both FOUND's albums have been supported by the Scottish Arts Council.
