about

'A Garden of Solitude' delivers seven tracks of sonic explorations, with processed acoustic instruments, physical textures, mangled beats, and carefully placed non-musical sounds. Each track holds a unique character whilst maintaining a great sense of continuity from the opening static of 'Foreland' to the disintegrating tape loop of the long-form 'Secret Transmissions'.

For those regular RTR listeners, Matt Atkins will be a familiar name. He has contributed to an RTR compilation at the beginning of 2019, and has been generous in providing artwork for a number of releases. The artwork for 'A Garden of Solitude' features Matt's own collage imagery, presented in the form of a double-sided three-panel J-card.
