Kranky / USA / 2012
Connected marks the first studio collaboration between two titans of the Australian experimental scene: Oren Ambarchi and Robin Fox. Released on the prestigious Kranky label, this album is a masterclass in sonic architecture and electronic abstraction.
The record finds the duo moving away from their usual solo methods—Ambarchi’s signature guitar-drone and Fox’s laser-triggered synthesis—to create a dense, interlocking soundscape. Across the tracks, they weave a complex web of rhythmic pulses, glitchy textures, and deep, subsonic frequencies. It is an immersive listening experience that balances the clinical precision of computer music with a warm, organic undercurrent.
