Pulseblink

Pulse: a rhythmical throbbing of the arteries as blood is pumped through them.

Blink: a brief closing and reopening of the eyes, sometimes used to control or prevent tears.

Pulseblink: songs (and occasional instrumentals) crafted from bleeping electronics, bursts of noise and glitching delays, melded with processed pianos and intimate vocals from featured singers.
