“Like all of the tracks on his new mini-album for Toronto's Marionette label, Benjamin Kilchhofer's "Bittern" blurs the line between synthesis, rhythm, and environmental sound. At its core is a hypnotic drum pattern, resonant and wood-grained but also eerily exact, like a drum circle located deep in the uncanny valley. Rhythmic figures compete for possession of the downbeat; the nature of the pulse”
