Atomic Shadow & Hollow Sun Featured on Sonic Talk

As most of you who visit the site know, Atomic Shadow has become known as an experimenter of the more esoteric synthetic noisemakers including vintage oscillators, tape machines and more. He recently came in second place for the Oramix Oramics contest judged by Brian Eno, DJ Spooky, and The Wire. The official post is now up on The Science Museum blog here. His instruments have been featured in Hollow Sun's catalog of experimental instruments and he is one of the first artists to be featured in the new Hollow Sun Records (announced here on MATRIXSYNTH).

Sonic State recently featured Atomic Shadow on their March 8 podcast Sonic Talk. The full podcast is 53 minutes and can be found here. For those tight on time, you can find the portion featuring Atomic Shadow and Hollow Sun here. It's a good listen, so do check it out. The following is the recording referenced followed by a link to the video.
