Dirt Diamond, a progressive expression of synthesised, electronic sound created and produced by Glasgow based artist Will Green.

Born in Drumchapel in the early 70's, his early influences include Jean Michel Jarre, Joy Division, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd and New Order. From his 80's school years and the forming of 'The Moonwashed Cottus', through to performing with 'The Crimson Kisses' later on, Will progressed from dabbling with guitar and bass, preferring the experimental freedom of the electronic keyboard sound.

Using various computer software programmes that allow freedom of expression and multi instrument recording, he has developed a collective of pseudo ambient sounds that range from background orientated chill out, to the more attention demanding semi industrial sounds of 'Danny'. His broad musical tastes and experimental technique help create different textures and sounds, spanning a range of genres that appeal to a wide audience.

Dirt Diamond is currently working on new material having just completed the album 'Debut', released through Edinburgh based Alex Tronic Records.
