Ctrak initially started making music in 2006, having decided that the existing music scene in his native UK wasn't adventurous enough. Three years and several albums later, combinations of polyrhythmic drumming, polyphonic and/or non-Western melodies, jazz-like chords and distorted, twisted timbres pervade the newest Ctrak releases, Poverty and Opulence, both of which were released in May 2009.
