Abstract Ambience - Broken Space
In the desire to make recorded sound as tactile as possible Autistici (UK), recently featured on 12kÆs
Blueprints compilation (12k1039), has sculpted found objects, broken acoustic instruments, synthesizers
and environmental recordings into Volume Objects.
Expertly realized and designed, Volume Objects is loose and organic and demands careful listening.
Melody and form are hinted at and then in a whisper, a crackle, are gone. A sense of narrative and place
created as if a hundred tiny objects are scattered in front of you, a fractured story that you thought you
once remembered.
The packaging for this release includes an 8-page booklet of black & white photography by Taylor Deupree
inspired by the music and titles of the audio pieces. All printed materials in this package have been printed
on 100% recycled paper.

Autistici creates audio narratives aimed at exploring the interchange between sound and space. Space in
this context also includes the space within the listenerÆs head. In this realm reflection and fantasy
recontextualise the sound according to the listenerÆs inner world.
AutisticiÆs work incorporates a wide range of sources including textural sound design, orchestration, space
and fragments of found sound or field recordings. Tracks focus on representing details from both the
natural and manmade world. Each detail has the potential to be preserved or lost, clarified or confused.
This means that any audio element, including elements from his own body become incorporated into the
composition.
This fascination on the interplay between inner and outer world embodies AutisticiÆs sound. There is an
intimate, intense and enmeshed sense of connection with tiny details (e.g., dust on vinyl, a door opening,
heart beats, breathing, snoring).
Autistici has released tracks on 12k, Audiobulb Records, Hippocamp, Kikapu and Wandering Ear.
