Luke Abbott
Luke Abbott is an English electronic music producer from Norwich, Norfolk. He records and performs extensively under his own name, under the alias Earlham Mystics and as one third of electronic jazz group Szun Waves. His work has been described as "left-field techno and kraut-infused electro" but also draws on more esoteric elements of improvisation, "psychedelic, filtered beats and slow-evolving synths".
Abbott's first single, 'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B'B' was released by Output Recordings in 2006 and later that year, his 'Projections' single was released as a limited edition 7" on Trash Aesthetics. In 2008 the Tuesday EP was released on James Holden's Border Community label, beginning a long relationship spanning several releases including 2009's Whitebox Stereo EP , 2011's Holkham Drones and 2014's Wysing Forest. The latter was created from a series of improvisations made in 2012 when Abbott was in residence at Wysing Arts Centre and produced a site specific composition which is now in the grounds of the art venue. The album "presents pristine calm washes, deeply unsettling throbs and blasts of strident noise" and can be seen as return to the "youthful art school indoctrination" of his time studying Electroacoustic Composition at UEA in Norwich.
