Ken McHugh, the man behind Autamata, grew up playing trad music. School, however, introduced him to the louder sounds of The Pixies and Nirvana and stints in various bands followed.

He produced David Kitt's acclaimed full-length debut, 'The Big Romance', and has also worked with a host of other acts. 2004 saw the full international release of Autamata's debut 'My Sanctuary', which featured the vocal talents of Cathy Davey and Carol Keogh of Tychonaut.
