avatar press release...

ohmix a work by: artistes variés to publicize the audio collection accumulated by ohm editions between 1993 and 1998, avatar asked eight composers to extract, transform and remix bits and entire pieces whatever way they wanted. the result is obviously one of very different approaches and varied listening experiences. through ohmix, avatar, as the name of the centre indicates, metamorphoses, changes itself and rematerializes with new pieces. from ralf wehowsky to alexandre st-onge, each reading is a taking-aim, an angle of attack, a posture that comes across like a meeting, a rendezvous of sound. the interweavings are amplified sharings, interpretations enriched by the fine-tuning of each sound sensibility. ohmix is a weaving of related but dispersed trends. for several years, a number of artists have been creating a new genre by using the sounds of other artists for their own creations and fishing from assorted discs to reconstruct them into a music that is unprecedented. ohmix sees itself as contributing to the history of avatar and of ohm editions. ohmix was broadcast in november 2001 on the french-language radio service of the cbc, la chaîne culturelle, on le navire night, a program produced by hélène prévost.
