about

Featured on BBC Late Junction.

"...these pieces exude a melancholia that’s footed in caustic destruction, swathes of broken percussion and crunchy electronics scouring themselves towards deconstruction." THE WIRE.

The vibratory encounters the elemental in Homework, the first collaboration between Italian composer MonoLogue (Marie Rose) and Londoner Matt Atkins.
'Crispy' is how Marie Rose has chosen to describe the album, and it aptly captures the surprising edges and adventurous crunch in its suite of tracks.
Experimental percussionist Atkins has provided a characteristically robust set of textures and rhythms derived from his collection of bells, gongs and rattles on which Marie Rose conducted a series of alchemic experiments. Starting with magnetic tape recordings of Atkins sounds, she has worked with water damage, chemical acids and the physical acts of breaking, stretching and re-joining, to conjur from these fragments seemingly magical moments of transmutation, distortion and decay.
Unabashedly physical and speculative, Homework takes lo-fi improv and tape-based experiments in new and intriguing directions.
