Collection: John Atkinson

John Atkinson’s music career began as part of the Brooklyn, NY-based experimental ensemble Aa (“Big A little a”), which released three albums of multi-drummer DIY maximalism that were hailed in Pitchfork for creating a “spectacular, expertly sculpted 3-D sound world.” More recently, he has released a series of collaborative albums on several ambient and experimental imprints, including Loom (cached.media), East Portal (AKP Recordings), Call Me When You Can (Fluid Audio), and Plains (Florabelle Records). His current process harnesses field recordings and acoustic instruments to sculpt soundscapes that are organic yet intensely artificial, seeking to embody the complex ecologies of the 21st century.
