, occupies a vital branch of the Scottish electronic lineage. As an original member of the Hexagon Sun collective, Horne's DNA is inextricably linked to the early development of Boards of Canada; he co-wrote 'Melissa Juice' on their seminal 'Twoism' album.
However, his solo work under the christ. moniker established a distinct identity characterized by a more overt focus on lush, cinematic soundscapes and intricate, braided synth melodies.
