RELEASE DATE

Robin Fox follows his 2010 solo album
A Handful of Automation
(DEMEGO 012LP) with
A Small Prometheus
, a significant work that exposes a very different audio-world to that previously encountered. In time since
A Handful of Automation
, Fox has been highly active with his widely acclaimed RGB (red green blue) laser show along with a collaboration with
Atom TM
(
Double Vision
), which premiered at Unsound Festival in 2014.
A Small Prometheus
was developed as a soundtrack to a dance work of the same name co-created with Australian choreographer
Stephanie Lake
. The outline here was to explore the themes of combustion and dissipating heat in various physical systems. Greatly extending the language of his creative output, Fox constructs a synthesis of electronic and acoustic sources to create a deeply nuanced excursion through space and time, timbre and texture. There is a subtle intensity to the works here: "A Pound of Flesh" is an industrial-strength spiraling drone, intoxicating and disorientating; "Antlers" takes the listener on an 11-minute ride through a vortex of pulsing and swirling electronics; "A Small Prometheus" is an unnerving combination of distressed field recordings, close-mic'd crackle, and a foreboding distant pulse. "Through Sky" starts out with a slow, menacing, rhythmic backbone that hosts an arsenal of small sounds before a certain wind supplants all in an admirable and somewhat haunted exchange. With its combination of vast caverns, spiraling counterflows, and microscopic investigations,
A Small Prometheus
opens up a new world of sound in Fox's personal trajectory. Limited LP version includes six tracks; two additional melodic, rhythmic bonus tracks can be sourced from Bandcamp, further expanding the rich, elaborate sound world of Robin Fox. Cover image by Robin Fox. Layout by
