design by shehab at implant, melbourne

a key ingredient in disappearing ink, thymolphthalein describes the working method of this brilliant french-australian quintet

leader anthony pateras conceived a detailed hour long structural premise for the group’s first tour in 2009, creating a masterful pastiche of richly dynamic, timbrally devastating explorations for electro-acoustic ensemble, melded by his own distinctive prepared piano and analogue electronics.

natasha anderson combines buzzing slabs of electro-acoustic sound with fractured acoustic gestures, sculpting exquisite perceptual explorations with recorders and electronics, producing a poetic and uncanny otherness.

will guthrie expertly fuses the drumkit with an array of homemade electro-acoustic devices to produce a fluid cataclysm of sonic richness, melded by his searing technical prowess and faultless ear.

jérôme noetinger is the live concréte maestro, electro-acoustically manipulating his bandmates with expert timing and breathtaking invention, scrambling proceedings with the occasional ring-modulated depth charge.

clayton thomas’ thoughtful and virtuosic prepared double bass playing has taken europe by storm since moving there from sydney in 2007 – part groove cannon, part kinetic sculpture, all parts bad bass skills.

room40 press release...
apart from being recognised as two of australia's leading improvising musical forces, clayton thomas and robin fox are also acknowledged for their unrelenting experiments and divergent acoustic approaches in relation to their instrument of choice.

over the past 3 years, robin fox has developed some of the most powerful live processing tools in australia through his research with maxmsp. clayton thomas on the other hand has expanded his performance styles, moving between blistering free jazz explosions to introverted and delicate expanded preparations on his 100 year old double bass.

the results of this pairing, as you'd expect, are as diverse as they are spectacular. unrelenting double bass movements are reprocessed into microtonal washes of sound - vibrated objects are transformed into uncharacteristic acoustic phenomena. this record expands on the techniques of electro-acoustic traditions and aligns both acoustic and electronic sounds in an integrated sonic environment where the lines between player and machine, instrument and processing are blurred and redefined.
