Crystalline Stricture is the electronic solo project of Belfast-based Alan Watkins. Signed to Northern Ireland electro label Tonn Recordings, Watkins utilizes lush synths & analogue looping to create a particularly rich and upbeat brand of synth wave. Introduced to music by his older brother, Watkins has been influenced by everything from the synth heavy post-rock tangents of Pink Floyd to electro-pop pioneers Kraftwerk– always finding himself captivated by the analogue looping of electronic instruments.
