Written during a period of exhaustion and isolation between January and May 2020, Fractures / Collapse strips away extraneous melody and drills straight to the core of my sound: corroded synthesizers, vintage drum machines, cavernous reverbs, dub-style bass, sound effects, radio noises, and a tonal degradation reminiscent of damaged analogue tapes. Rather than being an ambient listen, the track instead is a slow-motion, murky, crunchy electronic funk like a heavyweight sonic trench coat to keep a soldier warm on the long march towards dawn.
Fractures / Collapse was premiered on The Dark Outside Inside II radio art streaming event on 2 May 2020.
