Atom Eye is a London, UK dark ambient / field recording / musique concrete pseudonym of Elsie Martins. The project debuted with Trilogy 120 (Feb 2012, self-released) and latest is The Otolith Sessions (Nov 2013, Forwind).

A slow rumble sneaks across the dreamy haze of a winter's moor... like an aural spectre; never quite visible, but definitely there. The haze burns off as a crisp sun rises through the hills scorching a path through the landscape as though its energy were focused through a magnifying glass. Atom Eye is the glass that pierces through you, darkly.

A musician who takes raw elements of atonal field recordings and morphs them into compositions and rhythms - both dark and light, intense and subtle, whole and transient - an art form she developed in her guise as the driving force in the previous musical vehicle, Phantom. Broadening those horizons and introducing new elements such as analogue tape loops, drone and world percussion, Atom Eye takes you on a journey: it's the soundtrack to your dreams... or your nightmares.

Featuring guest appearances from award-winning percussionist Pete Lockett (part I & II) - (Björk, David Holmes, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Lee Scratch Perry, Primal Scream), percussionist Fabio Barbato (part III) - (Ethna Morte) and Mute Artist, Composer and Producer Simon Fisher Turner (part III) - whose works include soundtracks for Derek Jarman's Caravaggio, The Last of England and The Garden as well as the David Lynch-produced Nadja;

Cinematic Trilogy 120 is an exploration of experiments with field recordings, analogue tape loops, reel-to-reel machines, guitars, cellos, ambient drone and world percussion. Drawing influences from film soundtracks, experimental music and sound art, Trilogy 120 was mixed & co-produced by James Aparicio (Liars, Spiritualized) and will be offered in three individually released parts.
