UK drummer and sound artist Cameron Graham signs to Phantom Limb and debuts with EP Go Out, forging a unique and headspinning bridge between EDM, joyous calypso colour, cellular Glassian minimalism, and hyperrealist AI.
Creating his dizzying, dayglo MIDI explorations with drumkit triggers, UK musician Cameron Graham conjures a multitude of soundworlds from dense compositional structures. The music of debut EP Go Out touches on neon, videogame digitisation, the finessed, mechanical precision of IDM, even the rhythmic intensity of gamelan, whilst retaining a thrilling and wholly singular energy. The record is an electrifying experience, full of colour and bubbling with unpredictability. Combining animatronic carnival and impish fug, Cameron reins control of spinning melodic lines and frequency filters into a radiant SNES world of blissful vibrancy.
Go Out's textures - formed in wavetable synthesis triggered by live-performed percussion pads - thread and bob through hallucinogenic abstract space. As if a marching band were lost in euphoric, insubordinate abandon and had replaced their battery snares with millisecond snippets of organ chords and steel pans. “I was compelled into making the most joyful and celebratory music I could while the world was falling apart and fragmenting further and further into chaos,” Cameron tells us. “A murderous war, immediately after a pandemic, woven into an ever-more fractious and seemingly insane social and political landscape. This project was the only possible creative act in the face of abject senselessness. What was a natural response for me, is for the listeners a loud invitation to go out, to move, to melt into music, to let go.”
