Kevin Tomkins might be best known for his work in WHITEHOUSE and his own group SUTCLIFFE JUGEND / SUTCLIFFE NO MORE. Most of his music has its background in the power electronics scene that evolved in Great Britain around the label Come Organisation and the group Whitehouse.
Power electronics is a style of noise music that typically consists of static, screeching waves of feedback, analogue synthesizers making sub-bass pulses or high frequency squealing sounds; with screamed and distorted vocals.
The genre is noted for its influence from industrial.
It is generally atonal, like most noise music and also features a lack of conventional melodies or rhythms.
To match its sonic excess, power electronics relies heavily upon extreme thematic and visual content: whether in lyrics, album art, or live performance actions.
Patient K is a rather new pseudonym for Kevin which has had its live premiere in autumn 2024 in Pordenone, Italy at the CONGRESSO POST INDUSTRIALE (OEC's label festival).
It has so far released 3 CDs - all of them with 4iB Records in Singapore.
Now Klanggalerie is proud to present album number 4 on Klanggalerie.
