Portal - Waves & Echoes





Portal is the name given to the recordings of Scott Sinfield. Portal are an ambient/dreampop band from the UK, based around multi-instrumentalist Scott Sinfield and vocalist Rachel Hughes,The music has included contributions from others, notably vocalist Rachel Hughes who appeared on Portal's albums between 2000 and 2005, and guitarist Jon Attwood, who also records under the moniker Yellow6. Contrary to some assertions, Portal did not disband in 2006, but rather went on sabbatical, with Scott becoming a father and concentrating on the running of the independent label Make Mine Music. Scott is currently working on new material, possibly for release in 2008.


Portal received the considerable honour of being invited to record a session for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 Show in 2000, and played a handful of live dates with the likes of Michael Gira (Swans/Angels of Light), Genesis P'Orridge (Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV), Electrelane, Hood and Piano Magic. In 2002, Scott set up the co-operative independent label Make Mine Music with Jon Attwood (aka Yellow6) to release their music, alongside that of other kindred spirits such as Epic45, July Skies, Avrocar and Library Tapes.
