Arconic

Ghosts from the Dancefloor

An ambient twist on iconic jungle and drum n bass tracks. Ghosts from the Dancefloor is a collection of tracks stretched in time with a heavy dose of reverb.

Debut EP: Ebb and Flow

Written and produced on island of Madeira, ‘Ebb and Flow’ explores the beauty and fragility of the cost combining field recordings and ambient soundscapes.

Exploring where music, real-life sounds, and immersive art converge

Arconic is the solo project of Rob Parton, an electronic musician and sound artist with a passion for live improvisation, sound design, and spatial sound. Blending emotive soundscapes and sound design with field recordings and samples from travels, Arconic explores the convergence of music, real-life sounds, and immersive art.

Building on his extensive experience performing at club nights, festivals, and events, Arconic is driven to push the boundaries of live sound expression. He is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Music and Sound Design at the University of Greenwich in London, exploring live improvisation workflows and composition using spatial sound.
