Her Favourite Distance was that between a Cough and a Dying Horse

Kevin Tomkins is best known for being an old WHITEHOUSE member and the founding member of SUTCLIFFE JUGEND, now called SUTCLIFFE NO MORE.
A true P/E monster of the first era, a pioneer in the evolution of UK harsh Industrial music.
Power electronics is a very unique sound style, involving noise sounds consisting of static, screeching waves of feedback, analogue synthesizers making sub-bass pulses or high frequency squealing sounds; with screamed and distorted vocals.
To match its sonic excess, power electronics relies heavily upon extreme thematic and visual content: whether in lyrics, album art, or live performance actions.
For his solo work, Kevin sometimes uses a very different style to his group work.
An autoharp or chord zither is a string instrument belonging to the zither family.
It uses a series of bars individually configured to mute all strings other than those needed for the intended chord.
In summer 2023, Kevin played a rare solo show in Vienna at Klanggalerie's 30th birthday bash.
It was based on his autoharp album using that very instrument plus voice and an arrangement of gimmicks and tools.
A week later, he created an album based on the performance and his time in Vienna.
