Automated Acoustics music is a slow burn. Often starting as a tiny spark in the ear, and building to an inferno ready to consume you.
With a diverse and eclectic range of genres, from alt-rock and electronica to trailer music and orchestral, Automated Acoustics music is always fresh and original. Using live instruments, found sounds, sound design, synths and vocals, as well as collaborating with talented guest artists, Automated Acoustics music is a feast for the ears.
Previous releases 2004-2011 have been adventurous and experimental, delving into twisted swamp blues, glacial electronica, spaced-out piano, and grinding industrial jazz. Receiving critical acclaim for its adventurous and innovative approach, but has remained a hidden gem in the underground scene.
Overall it sounds a bit like if Tom Waits collaborated with Aphex Twin, then was remixed by Hans Zimmer.
Automated Acoustics has constantly been creating music behind the scenes for music agencies, landing placements for music & sound design in the trailers for Alien:Covenant and Antlers, also with his other collaboration alias The Industrial Battle Orchestra landing the trailer for The Book Of Boba Fett, & sound design in the trailer for Logan.
Automated Acoustics releases music on Alternative Blueprint Records for streaming and also Bandcamp (the best way to support independent musicians by purchasing downloads).
