about

Available on Diatribe Records

“Xenia's five part composition Glowing Radioactive Elements explores possibilities of shimmer and sustain, ghostly auras and spectral sonorities. It retains to a certain extent the feel of a journal of discoveries made, whereas Atomic Legacies, a boldly conceived and brilliantly realised encounter with the strings of The Ligeti Quartet, is clearly a foretaste of things to come.” - The Wire

“The MRP, to my ears, allows for fluxes between the lush swells of grand piano and acute controls that create synthetic sounds, in a subtly theatrical push and pull between physical resonance and digital sound, and a space between the two that cannot be parsed. This description suggests it is perhaps coolly avant-garde, but there is melancholy in ‘Actinium‘ and heart-swells in ‘Tritium‘. The title track ‘Atomic Legacies‘ is in a lineage of dense minimalism I can really get behind. Pestova Bennett brings proper feelings.” - The Quietus
