and how they impact on our identity and feelings. Psychogeography has
historically been associated with the exploration of our cities and the
'drift', and has been described by Joseph Hart as "a whole toy box full
of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities... just about
anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts
them into a new awareness of the urban landscape". In Rift Patterns,
Adkins continues the drift from the city, into the country and into our
inner world of thoughts and relationships. Following on from Adkins’
previous albums on Audiobulb there is a delicate balance between
abstract electronic sound and melody. On this album he uses found
objects from the many locations visited, placed in the piano to prepare
the strings and produce strange sonorities.<br>
</p><p><strong>Enhanced Versions with Interactive iBook</strong>:
As the music was being completed Adkins
invited the writer Deborah Templeton, video artist Jason Payne and
photographer and graphic designer Stephen Harvey to respond in their own
way to the music, the ideas behind it and each other’s work. The result
is an interactive iBook containing music, text, moving image
photography and film. This will be distributed to customers purchasing
the enhanced 16bit or 24bit digital download versions from
