History
Mansford previously performed as
Thousand Hours' executive producer is New York City- and London-based multi-platinum songwriter Wayne Cohen (European Pop Idol, Eternal, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Curtis Stigers, Martin Sexton, Laura and the Tears).[4] The two met through a mutual friend with whom Cohen was co-writing. Cohen and Mansford eventually began collaborating, working on songs and recordings via Skype. From there, Thousand Hours – initially a one-man band featuring looped beats, vocals, and synths – was born. Out of Mansford and Cohen's different interpretations of the project came a style of "electromantic" music. NPR contributor Stephanie Coleman[5] deemed the term electromantic as "having no meaning and every meaning. It's a buzz word - people will make their own associations to the word electromantic."[1]
