Lasting several hours, the performance is part improvisation, part a live rewrite of the artist’s extensive archive and includes passages from AtomTM’s numerous classic albums. Additional sounds are served up courtesy of Material Object, the designer responsible for the graphics at FAX +49-69/450464, the label of the sadly recently deceased major ambient musician Pete Namlook, which also released several works by AtomTM.
