Holden Linton is a Multi-media artist based in Philadelphia, PA whose works reimagines physical environments into direct audio-visual experiences. His album “Thin Walls” bridges the sounds of abandoned apartments, bedrooms he’s lived in, and the ephemera that exists in those places into a conceptual work about memory and artificial comfort. Under his project Pallet Fountains, he utilized found sounds and urban environments to create pseudo-tropical landscapes that are aggressive and fantastical in their nature. Whether it is through confrontational performance art, or isolated media experiences, Linton’s music invites the ears and eyes to engage with space in a way that is deeply anthropological and corporeal.
