2016: Work Continues January 3, 2016


Defiantly onward amidst tragedy and financial setbacks is the only way to go.

Attention has gone to making sounds for future releases with Alka.

Also, attention is on roadways and marking the lives they claim.

As ever, At Work music is still under development for near-future release.

Sound Systems, an atmospheric and floor-friendly effort of 4 works, is set to appear next.

1000 Blended Notes is very close to completion, and will appear later.

There are other tracks completed and underway outside of these releases that may surface.

New Projects and Documentaion to see:
Early Morning, Christmas Eve
Road Poetry
From The Past To You (updated)

Thanks for looking. If you need a live act, please make contact.

If your home or office needs some old art and/or if music could enrich your life, the money would go a long way to finance future efforts and be much appreciated.

At Work Remixes Cloud People on Gone With The Wild August 15, 2013




In the New Jersey Pine Barrens, there is a band of mythical beings which visit Evan Wilder to reveal melodies, rhythms and other information to him. In dreams. Or something like this. They are called Cloud People.

They have just today released their 9th release on Batona, and it is the last of its kind. It contains remixes of the previous 8 releases, with a few new ones. One of the new ones, "Shamong" is remixed by At Work.

The album also features remixes by Ambient Fabric (Norway), Jason Carr (Philadelphia/Detroit), Yung Coyote (New Jersey Pine Barrens), and Messier Object (deep space).

It combines Micromoog, live drum kit, djembe, guitar and more, arranged in a deconstructed break down of chop-ups and fine edits. It builds up and down and back to make an epic theme for and inspired by Shamong—a place in the Pinelands, with a name said to translate from Lene-Lenape to 'land of the Devil'.

Cloud People's Gone With The Wild (Cloud 9, Batona catalog number: PATH19) is available here.

Out Now - Community Creation November 17, 2012

Download   $4.00 on BandCamp Community Creation   In early 2011, At Work contributed a few melodies as a response to a call for collaboration from the Philadelphia Ambient Consortium. New Jersey's Qixoni took the melodies and made a full track out of them. He also shared them with his friends who produce: Bit Mummy, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Release The Kraken, from the now devastated Jersey shore. Each took the few scraps provided and constructed their vision out of very little. Meanwhile, At Work remixed Qixoni's interpretation. These mixes are the result. Credits: Track 1 produced by Release The Kraken & At Work. Track 2 produced by Qixoni & At Work, remixed by At Work. Track 3 produced by Bit Mummy & At Work. Track 4 produced by Qixoni & At Work. Coordinated and made possible by a generous effort from Qixoni. Thanks to Qixoni the Philadelphia Ambient Consortium for helping to further local creative communities.

At Work's Floods Remix In Iron Man Records' "Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin" Film November 16, 2012


Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin has happened once a year, on the weekend closest to the spring equinox, since 1997. It will continue until the 25th spin, in 2021. You can read Bill Drummond's account of his participation in the 1st spin here. And see pictures here.

At Work has joined in on the 5th and 8th spins.

The man behind Iron Man Records participates. He made this above film, and then added At Work's remix of "We Broke: Down" by Floods as the score.

This glimpse into the 25 hours takes in the highway ambiance as the caravan makes its way through the wee morning hours of an early spring night, following the Orbital, crossing over the Thames on the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge into Essex, with still hours yet to go.

"We Broke: Down (At Work) is taken from the Floods EP, Intermission (PATH16) available from Batona Music at http://batona.bandcamp.com/album/intermission. Released November 10, 2012.

Filmed around London on the M25 Orbital, March 24, 2012.
Directed and produced by Iron Man Records.

For The Spin.
