ABOUT OLIVER COATES
Oliver Coates is a cellist, a composer for film and an electronic music producer. His music explores improvisation, dark ambient music, and intimate melodic cello with distortion and tape modulation. His most recent solo record is Throb, shiver, arrow of time (2024) released on RVNG.
One Without is originally from his critically acclaimed soundtrack to Charlotte Wells film Aftersun.
Reflecting the “the vivid glow of memory”— One Without is built around a repeating figure, overlapping with shimmering reverb trails and little else, it’s spare but flickers with warmth and light. Echoing and repeating for a little over four minutes, it feels like a meditation on constancy and loss, highlighting what stays the same and what subtly changes as memories flit through your head, again and again.
