John Atkinson is a Brooklyn-based sound artist, as well as a writer on energy and environmental issues. As part of Aa (“Big A little a”), a group of percussion-heavy experimentalists and mainstays of the Brooklyn 2000s DIY music scene, he released several albums and toured the US, Europe, and Australia. His solo work transmutes and disfigures field recordings to create hyperreal soundscapes, evoking the ways in which "nature" and processes of environmental change have become inextricable from the manmade in the era of climate change.
