Luke Howard + Tilman Robinson | Intermittent Reinforcement

Intermittent Reinforcement is the first of 3 tracks making up an ambient and melancholy collaborative EP – Dark Angels - from Australian composers Luke Howard and Tilman Robinson. In the weeks immediately prior to the impact of Covid-19, the two artists isolated themselves in Luke's studio to reimagine some of his pre-existing recordings. The resulting work is an exercise in stasis and highlights the duo's respective individual practices: a vacillation between light and darkness. Angelic voices are contorted beyond recognition while organs are manipulated into layers of texture. Dark Angels is both mournful and hopeful, preaching cautious optimism to a melancholic world. The video for ‘Intermittent Reinforcement’ was created by Jessica In. www.jessicain.net / @shedrawswithcode Music video by Luke Howard, Tilman Robinson performing Intermittent Reinforcement. © 2020 Luke Howard, under exclusive licence to Mercury KX, a division of Decca Music Group Limited
