After a guerrilla performance at a park, we sat down to finally create some new original material. In the spirit of the "Mellow Rave" that's being organized by Rothonde, we went with a slower tempo and loved the groove. Welcome to the Suburban Meadows. Test version 5, recorded on a Sunday. 

Atomsk - The Suburban Meadows

Crammed two songs in ten minutes for live performance -- currently lacking additional guitars and effects. 
1) Don't trip over the Giant
2) Need Light, See Sun

This particular version was created and performed for a staff party of Tivoli & Vredenburgh, Utrecht. on the 26th of March 2012. Songs are significantly shorter than the originals.

Atomsk - 10 Minutes Live (dance sampleset)

Original track, with additional cello (and melody) by http://soundcloud.com/alkepuffin (Maarten Vos). Third version.


Atomsk - My Memory is almost Full (Maarten Vos cello edit 3)

Put together per request for William.

Improvised with beats from existing tracks (Wooden Hills, Elk Ember, Hurricanes & Spitfires, the Jaws of Life) and added to the structurally intact original track by Harry Escott for the motion picture Shame. For which we do not claim copyright, of course.

Harry Escott - Brandon (Atomsk bootleg edit)

A befriended elk and wolf embark on an eerie journey through their moonlit forest, which slowly but steadily starts to reformat itself around them. Staying closely together, the two wander through their digitizing habitat, forced to push forward into the night, to the edge of the woods, to the safety of the yellow fields.

"Elk Ember" is a DIY collage of loops with variations on guitar, melodica, vocal and environmental recordings. Apart from some prefabricated kicks, all sounds are acoustically recorded. No synthesizers or virtual instruments were used. This is the unmastered full version, based on and tribute to Andy Kehoe's painting "Together at the Treshold".

Elk Ember (Together at the Threshold)

"N.O. is the power to mentally call forth other objects and energies through lightyears of space. It calls upon both sides of the brain's thought process to open channels through multiple dimensions to instantaneously pull things through. [...] The N.O. of Atomsk, (アトムスク, Atomusuku) is great enough to steal entire solar systems."
