About Me

Atomic Children is a Montreal based group pushing the envelope in Industrial/Electronic music. Formed in 2002, Atomic Children is an amalgam of the styles of earwigisbent, ScottyP, and Oliver Twisted; all of whom have respected underground solo careers in their own right. The distinctive sound of the group is influenced by contemporary electronic musicians and groups such as Aphex twin, Squarepusher, and Boards of Canada, as well as venerable classics such as Skinny Puppy and Nine Inch Nails. While relying on the latest in computer based musical software to produce much of their music, Atomic Children is not beyond incorporating classic tape techniques, found object recordings and vintage equipment to compliment the state of the art. Dissatisfied with the current state of live electronic acts and DJs, the groups goal is to create genuine improvised live sets by combining live sampling and performance to create a more organic sound, and not simply easy music to satisfy the dancefloor drones. With the current onslaught of formulaic pop music being forced down the publics throat, Atomic Children attempts to provide a fresh and original alternative to fans of electronic and industrial music. Fueled by a DIY mentality and a hard work ethic, provided to you by the latest revolutions in digital content distribution, Atomic Children wish to plant the seeds of change in all those willing to move beyond the current state of electronic music.
