Broken Saints began as an experimental online serial graphic novel in 2000, created on a shoestring budget in a basement in North Vancouver by Brooke Burgess, Ian Kirby and Andrew West. For original music to enhance the dark and powerful storyline and imaginative art, they turned to composer tobias tinker, who volunteered his existing back catalogue of instrumental works and later expanded it with new tracks specifically for the series.
The resulting body of work is mostly instrumental and electronic, often ambient or atmospheric, but always intended to be engaging and to provoke active listening... in the composer's words: "I am not much into 'wallpaper'. I am very much into the subtle, dynamic interplay of acoustic and electronic sounds and textures; between the spontanaeity, depth and physicality of real instruments played by real people, and the precision and infinite possibilites of digital editing and computer-assisted sound design. Almost everything I do involves these juxtapositions."
