SLEEPSTATES ALBUM REVIEWS_ BOOMKAT & ELECTRONIC SOUND MAGAZINE

BOOMKAT review

ELECTRONIC SOUND MAGAZINE review

“The debut release from Manchester sound artist and Oram Award Winner Vicky Clarke (aka SONAMB) takes the listener through the dream states that are a product of our interaction with analogue, algorithmic and digital technologies. Drawing on random frequency snatches (‘Sleepstates’), disquieting textures (‘Sync Whole’) and skittering somnambulist pulses (‘Hypnabyte’), the album skirts around the edges of lucid dreams that characterise REM sleep- shaped, manipulated and interrupted by what Clarke describes as the noise of “machine addicition”. A stunning collection.”
