Robin Storey’s journey through sound is inseparable from the evolution of post-industrial and experimental ambient music itself. As a founding member of the seminal collective Zoviet France, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1979, Storey helped shape a new sonic vocabulary that blended ritual abstraction, primitive sampling, and immersive atmospheres. When Storey launched his solo project Rapoon in 1992, he distilled that experimental spirit into a more introspective and hypnotic form, drawing upon non-Western rhythmic patterns and the cyclical pulse of memory. Across more than three decades Rapoon has become synonymous with a particular kind of ethno-ambient classicism. Albums such as Dream Circle, Vernal Crossing, and Fallen Gods stand as milestones in the evolution of ambient music, influencing an entire generation of sound artists exploring the borderlands between archaeology and imagination.
With Grain of Light, his first release for Italian label Unexplained Sounds Group, Storey continues this long meditation on time and transcendence. Deeply influenced by Eastern music, Grain of Light reaches sandy and swampy depths that could have emerged from Jon Hassell’s own scorebook, yet it remains unmistakably Rapoon, a music that evokes both ritual and dream, memory and mirage. A new masterpiece within his remarkable body of work.
