Ample Sound was formed in mid-2006 by Henry Ing-Simmons, when he became interested in computer-based music production. After a short period of solo experimentation, Henry asked his school mate and best friend Richard Vanryne to join him in this endeavour. Their initial productions were primitive and sample-based which had limited appeal to the ambitious pair, resulting in a change of direction.
In mid-2007 they began working with the music production software ‘Ableton Live’. This opened up many possibilities, and although a lack of knowledge resulted in many of their early works being very experimental, constant writing of new material and exploration of other genres greatly improved their overall production quality. By the end of 2007, Ample Sound had released their first ever finished song, “Supernova”, which gained considerable popularity amongst friends and fans alike.
In 2008 a progression into fully vocalised music started with “Hear Me Out”, which was co-written by Jack Porter. This coincided with the band’s decision to start gigging. The pair’s first performance was of “Hear Me Out” at their school’s “Battle of the Bands” competition. The song was very well received and the satisfaction of the experience encouraged them to do more gigs and carry on writing more vocal music.
