I'm really enjoying this, Jo! Weird electro-magnetic emissions are my favourite sounds.

This section sounds so much like waves.. I would love to know what the sound source actually sounded like, adds to the fractal dimension of the elements... Can't wait to hear this pieve on a 5:1 system one day, would be awesome. 

wow - I don't know how the hell you did this but what a sound journey!

I'm at a synchrotron right now, at my beamline listening to this track.  Trippy stuff.
Did you have a mic. inside of the ring during injection?

Out on November 24th, 2022 physically (Vinyl) and digitally...

Composers: Lu Xiutang, and Wang Xunzhi
The music contains elements of Chinese Kunqu Opera and is based on a story in Water Margin: The hero Lin Chong was persecuted by Gao Qiu and has escaped to Liang Mountain in a snowstorm without any choice. The music portrays helplessness, anger, and sadness in his inner world, and imitates human crying sound through techniques.

Nina Mix 012 takes us into the ethereal sonic world of Dylan Khotin-Foote, aka Khotin (@khotin). His sound—vintage but never pastiche—is deep and bursting with colorful, emotive textures that come alive on his Nina mix. The Edmonton-based artist has stitched together an hour of mostly unreleased originals, alongside collaborations with Nik 7 and Patrick Holland.

You can collect the mix for free on Nina: https://www.ninaprotocol.com/releases/khotin-nina-mix-012

Antanniseven hat mein kleiner Bruder als Kleinkind immer zu "Kastanie" gesagt, das ist mir lebhaft in Erinnerung geblieben. Das Stück ist eine Hommage an meinen Bruder, der wie ich auch Künstler geworden ist!

My little brother used to say Antanniseven to "chestnut" (Kastanie) when he was a toddler, and I remember it vividly. The piece is a tribute to my brother, who, like me, also became an artist!

We swim where the birds are

Crystal is nearly 40 minutes long. It has been written for 5.1 DVD as a commission for Diamond Light Source. On the 20th of October it was  performed live in the space of the electron storage ring. 

''Work and process'' 
It is a sound work composed directly from frequencies generated by the electron storage ring, a particle accelerator. The work also uses binaural recording from locations inside Diamond’s experimental hall, storage ring and beamlines. Writing this work, my imagination was sparked from the start and my aim was to write a work of substantial length which reflected both the actual content of the spectrum of the space and also the metaphorical content of the sounds.

The Diamond synchrotron is a rich multi-spectral sonic environment, with a cacophony of sounds generated by machines which hiss pure nitrogen, pump air from vacuum chambers and cool high-powered magnets. There is never one time where any sound is exactly the same. It is a large space, circular; extremely reverberative, vibrating complex tones from the electro-magnetic and mechanical interfaces which generate the electron beam which travels at near the speed of light. The actual physical space of the synchrotron seems to capture pure human intelligence, concentration and the ability to look beyond what is currently possible. It is light, futuristic and like nothing I have ever seen before.

Most of the sounds you hear in this work are the sounds of electron injections into the particle accelerator at certain times of the day. This happens on a regular basis every 10 minutes; it is predicable and ever present. The sonic content of the injections is grainy and dry. I choose to listen to the micro tonalities captured in
the streams of injections developing detailed micro melodies which appear and disappear not unlike the atom injections. The injections are heard in full at the end of the work.  I also took binaural field recordings from points in the synchrotron area and I used a selection of these within the work.


Crystal is designed both for concentrated listening and also for installation. One can walk into the work at any time and capture phrases “injections of a sonic palette” or simply sit down and listen to the whole work. It captures my experience of listening in on the inner workings of the synchrotron. The space itself captures a sense of timelessness, and my aim was to reflect this in the form of the music.
The work was commissioned and published by Diamond Light Source, composed in the Electro-acoustic Studios of the University of Wales Bangor, with support from a research grant from the University of East London. Many thanks to all involved in making the work.
