36 - Circuit Bloom (2018)

"It's been 7 years since the last 36 tape release and I am pleased to return to the format for the 'Circuit Bloom' EP. It contains a selection of 6 predominantly piano-based tape loops, exploring the themes of isolation and escapism, through a Cyberpunk-inspired lens. For me, Cyberpunk is about people living on the fringes of society, finding ways to deal with the hardships they face, through the manipulation and exploitation of technology. It's a genre/aesthetic I've always loved and its influence has always seeped into my music." - 36

"Circuit Bloom" serves as a companion to an upcoming 36 album, providing a prelude for what is to come later this year. It's the perfect soundtrack for standing outside the balcony of your high-rise apartment, watching the rain fall onto the city at night.

It is available on limited edition (100 copies) C30 cassette and digital/streaming. The digital release also includes the "Versions" bonus tracks, which are rain-soaked ambient remixes of the original tunes, where the melodies are blurred and the raw atmosphere of each track is brought into focus.
