Second Thought – Treatments
"Second Thought is quite a schizophrenic project with multiple personalities, and my best work has always come from reacting against my own music. After completing an album of strict compositions with distinct melodies and rhythms, I felt the need to take the opposite direction and work from a more electro-acoustic perspective, going back to audio editing. A number of sound sources are given the various 'treatments' and converted into entirely different, new pieces of music. This led to the finished EP, a series of ambient drone tracks which sound distinctly different from anything I've recorded previously."

Behind the release
Second Thought ↗
Working for the best part of a decade on various musical projects, Second Thought is the musical voice of Ross Baker, a twenty-something producer from somewhere in the United Kingdom. The project started as a techno duo in 1999, but when founding member Dale Clarke left after a year, Ross began to deconstruct and fragment the sound with each successive recording. Second Thought's music now ranges from abstract ambient to string quartet compositions, lo-fi pop songs and lush sound collages.
