Jon Hopkins' experimental, IDM production often evolves from slow, contemplative textures to chaotic and all-consuming soundscapes. Take "Open Eye Signal," for example: the track grows from a sonic buzz to a cathartic atmosphere over the course of six minutes, until a jolting, jumpy breakdown takes over to close the song. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that the producer would make an alarm call as part of Rob da Bank's Alarm Call series.
