about

Of this release Matt says:
'Collapsing Fragments' is a return to the electronica roots of my earlier recordings. Using classic 808 drum sounds and washes of atmospheric murk and drift, I wanted to deconstruct the rhythmic patterns to the point of near collapse, shattering the rigidity 4/4 grid.
