oberman knocks: trilate shift

Trilate Shift sees Oberman Knocks returning to Aperture Records following on from his last release Dilankex (2014), which featured an outstanding 17-minute remix from Autechre. Working on other projects during this time seems to have charged his creativity and Knocks now propels himself back into the fold for Trilate Shift, his third album with cleaner, more polished production and a change of direction which should certainly see his appeal rise across a wider audience. In 2018, Knocks produced the soundtrack to The Red Tree, an award-winning documentary film from Still Films (New York/Dublin) and in 2016 he was commissioned by The Lowry in Salford to produce a sound installation, 30 Days of The Smiths, forming part of their Week 53 festival, a version of which was also performed live. Trilate Shift sees Knocks serve up fourteen lustrous tracks of proficiency and divergent ingenuity encompassing interjections of disembodied vocals, setting the scene for a distinctive musical trajectory.
