	Protoson was formed in 1997 by John Hancock and Scott Abel, two Auckland-based musicians inspired by the sound of early 90s electronic music. The result is a combination of organic (and not-so-organic) rhythms and textured soundscapes, melded with guitar and keyboard improvisation.
	They have performed at a number of festivals and live events throughout New Zealand and have recently completed a new self-titled release, now available online.

Music

In 2005 Protoson contributed four tracks to The Catchpool Found Sound Project, composed entirely from environmental field recordings captured in the Catchpool Valley, NZ.
