[before the Big Bang and the beginning of time…]

There was no matter. All that existed was space/time and energy. An ocean of energy, almost still but gently rippling. A near still ocean of energy filling the void.

Brian Cox, Universe (BBC, 2021)

Reductionist explores the wavefolding of time and space using battery-powered technologies and microvirtuosic technique with the debut release Energy Field.

Reductionist utilises the humblest of ephemeral technologies, including battery-powered micro-instruments, forgotten music tech products, and cheap effect pedals, to express through sound the vastest concepts that we, as humans, can attempt to comprehend.

The title track is inspired by the idea of an immeasurable energy field, theorised to have existed before the Big Bang, with the entire Universe lying dormant, waiting to emerge into existence…

The new single also includes the extended companion piece “Energy Field Refolding”. Could the Universe refold into itself as an energy field once again? Humans are attracted to the idea of rebirth – perhaps we need to imagine that existence will always continue in some form.

Reductionist is the solo project for electronic music artist Nick Wilson, whose previous work has included Random Acts of Elevator Music, Darrow, Tiatto, City Frequencies and Continuum. Nick has also been the Label Manager for Australia’s longest-running electronic music collective Clan Analogue over the last twenty years. In 2026 Clan Analogue artists Reductionist and Aday presented the MacroVerse collaborative performances at the Abbotsford Convent, which were nominated for the Best In Music category at the 2025 Melbourne Fringe Awards.

Energy Field is the first track to be released from the forthcoming Reductionist album MacroVerse. Prepare for the journey of existence as you experience Energy Field.
