about

During rehearsals for an entirely different piece, Robbie Judkins struck upon this whirling, luminescent assemblage for battery-powered coffee whisk, flimsy plastic cable ties, zither and effects. A slew of singing harmonics obfuscate the boundaries between sound sources, while the fade-in suggests that "Rotator" has been in orbit long before the listener pressed play. Turn it up and let the light in.

Originally released on 31st August 2023 for Hard Return, a label for repetitive/persistent music. hardreturn.bandcamp.com/album/rotator

Left Hand Cuts off the Right (Robbie Judkins) is an outlet for exploratory methods and composition. During live performances Robbie plays with a zither, bent electronics, objects, field recordings, loops and effects. The sounds are of habitual drones, gear-grinding metallic buzzing, crackling rhythms and aural oddities. Compositions and improvisations reflect on work and labour and the creation of sound as therapy.

In April 2023 he released, Free Time/Dead Time (Brachliegen Tapes), an album of focused minimalism, experimental electronics and twitching musique concrete. Free Time/Dead Time is a series of meditative compositions that reflect on the precarious boundaries between labour, leisure, and the quality of lived experience under late-capitalism.

"The freshness of Judkins's restrained approach is felt in an enjoyably weird atmospheric balance between sustained calm and sticky anxiety." The Wire

“Hardcore yoga music” The Quietus

He has created works for the Barbican, ICA, Resonance FM, Turner Contemporary, Whitechapel Gallery, Cafe Oto, University of Central Lancashire and more. Robbie is also the creator of Animal Sounds for Resonance FM and Parallax View for Threads Radio.
