about

‘Experiments Between…’ is a peek into the synth ‘sketch-pad’ of Circuit Breaker’s Edward Simpson. Diaristic in nature and unforgiving in presentation, we are given 4 snapshots of sounds at their most raw and un-selfconcious.

One can only assume that these ‘automatic writings’ might eventually serve as the ground-work for a track in Simpson’s post-punk band Circuit Breaker or even be woven into the fabric of of his dark-ambient project ELS.
Edward is a huge sci-fi fan and this short EP evokes alien technology failing to be tamed by humans. The instruments respond coldly, mechanically and without recourse to aural-pleasure. The (apparent) lack of author could even be a nod to the ultimate act of compositional Nihilism, ‘Metal Machine Music’, a record that certainly shares an aesthetic sensibility with these pieces.
The collection could be described as coming off like a home-spun GRM release, (the starkness of Ivo Malec springs to mind).The lack of humanity at the heart of it even recalls the industrial emptiness of the Eraserhead soundtrack.

Whether ‘Experiments…’ evokes avant-garde horror soundtracks, the bleakest sci-fi literature or even classic noise, its undoubtedly a key addition to an evolving body of work from an exciting producer. - Peter Simpson
