In his latest track, “Is This What You Want?”, Man Atom skillfully combines elements of rhythmic repetition and ambient soundscapes. The song is driven by a series of repeated guitar notes that anchor the composition, while a crunchy breakbeat lays a solid rhythmic foundation. The vocals, processed with a sense of delay, add an engaging quality to the melody, enhancing the track’s spacey mood. Subtle bass notes deepen the soundscape, providing a resonant undercurrent that complements the overall loftiness and hypnotic nature of the music.
Operating out of Sheffield, UK, Man Atom embraces a distinctly DIY approach to music production. His setup, described as “one man and a cheap microphone,” reflects a minimalist yet effective method of crafting sound. This simplicity allows the intrinsic qualities of the music to shine through, giving “Is This What You Want?” a raw and genuine feel. The track is also featured on a limited edition handprinted CD, by artist John Pedder (ex Baby Bird)”
