Sourcing sounds from his own domestic tape archive and processing them digitally Scanner explores his own brittle sound diary, producing a series of contrasting moods that slip and slide around one another, yet never losing grip of the measure. Double Fold scatters beats into a warm seductive groove, hard digital lock grooves melding into rhythms that edge under the floorboards whilst pixellated abstraction tattoos it’s way across the surface.

Scanner - British sound artist, Robin Rimbaud - explores an eclectic mix of activities that place him at the crossroads of academic and digital pop culture. Winning admiration from Bjork and Stockhausen, Scanner is committed to working with cutting edge practitioners and has collaborated with musicians Bryan Ferry and Laurie Anderson, writers David Toop and Simon Armitage, the artist Mike Kelley, among many others.

His live performances constantly seek to break new ground: in 1999 he performed “Surface Noise” on a London Bus around the city, in 2000 he performed over 20 KM of beach in Italy using the public phono system, re-soundtracked Godard’s seminal film Alphaville, and most memorably played 16 concerts in just one evening with a series of lookalikes across the globe.

Among his recently completed works are the permanent soundtrack to the bereavement suite in a Parisian hospital to assist in the departure of deceased love ones, the “Into The Blue” exhibition in Ireland which used 10,000 latex balloons, the soundtrack for Random Dance Company’s Nemesis and the 52 Spaces project for Michelangelo Antonioni’s 90th birthday in Rome.

Though a departure from the more abstractly invigorating experimental work that Scanner is recognised for, this release continues to sculpt a sound that twists state-of-the-art technology in gloriously unconventional ways.
