His recordings move between forceful rhythmic passages, suspended textures and piano-led intimacy, making the transition between sections an important part of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collaborative album offers a useful counterpoint to a solo project built around a single producer’s identity. Hopkins’s contribution becomes part of a three-way exchange, with electronic and instrumental gestures responding to one another. The interest lies in the emerging whole, where a quieter texture can prepare an abrupt change of momentum and give the programme a more cinematic movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCatalogue highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall Craft on a Milk Sea, made with Brian Eno and Leo Abrahams, places him in a collaborative instrumental setting.
