Luke Abbott — Holkham Drones

Mak­ing music through ana­log mod­u­lar synths and still cre­at­ing a coher­ent, over­all fit­ting sound is one of the hard­est achieve­ments to reach for in elec­tronic music. Only really pas­sion­ate instru­ment and sound ador­ers dare to strive for that kind of pro­duc­tion processes. Luke Abbott, an ambi­tious young man from Nor­folk cur­rently is to me the most inter­est­ing “machine lover” as this arti­cle on RA puts it for­ward. His 2010 record Holkham Drones is full of weird drum parts and explod­ing, wav­ing and glit­ter­ing synth parts — all of them cre­ated uniquely using DOEPFER A100 mod­u­lar sys­tems and ana­log Roland synths. It comes directly from the machine’s heart.
