about

Central to these six pieces for no-input mixer is the motif of rapid-fire pulsations. Occasionally they deviate – letting slip the odd high-frequency squeal or static hiss – but the pulses always return, like moth wings beating against a lightbulb between divergent flutters into open space. It’s a perilous balancing act, introducing minor changes that explore various angles of the texture while mostly managing to keep the underlying pitter-patter rhythm intact. Of course, there are wonderful moments when Atkins topples over the brink, the sound spiralling through drastic transformations and shedding the pulse completely, before enacting a scrambling recovery.
