Energy Restriction by Left Hand Cuts off the Right
An unsteady, faltering and restrained improvisation for electric organ, piano and discarded loops. Greasing together forgotten fuzz, squeals and mud, stuttering piano repetitions and a sticky, dense organ. Recorded late at night, January 2022.
All sounds and art by Robbie Judkins

"The freshness of Judkins's restrained approach is felt in an enjoyably weird atmospheric balance between sustained calm and sticky anxiety. 'Energy Restriction 1' is the more volatile of the two, hot crackling fuzz framed by deep organ tones and low register melodies. The more alluring 'Energy Restriction 2' centres on wavering keyboard drone, with moody drip-fed piano triads and looping wooden knocks, groans, scrapes and creaks that surround the listener with immersive chatter". Leah Kardos, The Wire Magazine, May 2022.
