Accumulation by Roland Kayn

With the jump-cut edits and staccato rhythms of its opening, ‘Accumulation’ is perhaps the closest Kayn’s unique approach came to that of his European contemporaries of the concrète school. The reverberating landscapes we glimpse throughout the piece, however, ultimately clarify our distance from this vocabulary, and the cumulative acquisition of noise-laden textures may point to a closer parallel in the most sonically fixated work of the early industrial movement.

"The mystery, the grace, the boundless invention – Kayn’s machine music is a vast catalogue of very human wonder." -The Guardian
