nonvisualobjects press release...
artist: tomas phillips
title: drink_deep
cat#: nvo_o12
format: cd
release date: october 07

limited edition: 300

in the mid-1980’s, rites of spring emerged from the thriving music community that was centered around dischord records in washington dc. their sound was raw, dense and emotional. it provided a soundtrack to a generation of veteran punks for whom introspection and renewal were increasingly necessary tools in the ongoing (re)construction of personal and political defiance.

drink_deep marks an effort to bridge the two distinct but inter-related milieus of the 80’s dischord era and the more recent practice of electronic minimalism, or microsound, both of which have relied upon aesthetic innovation and a modus operandi that is at once individualized and collaborative. aside from a piano that simulates a particular chord progression, all of the source material comes from the original r.o.s. tracks whose titles i have had the privilege of retaining.

as a whole, these compositions are, most importantly, an expression of the admonition to savor the depths of what life has to offer in the immediate moment, to embrace the paradoxical hazard of living gracefully and deliberately. herein lies, i would suggest, the continuing relevance of the original music, my interpretations of which are offered out of an enduring inspiration.

nonvisualobjects (austria) #nvo 007 cd

tomas phillips / dean kingá travers le bord” compact disc

  • á travers le bord | 37:23
nonvisualobjects press release...
artist: tomas phillips/dean king
title: á travers le bord
cat#: nvo_oo7
format: cd
release date: may 06

limited edition: 300

the product of a definite convergence of ideas as well as my own nascent french, the title á travers le bord can be interpreted as both a ‘crossing through’ a material edge or border and a liminal move from exterior to interior, or vice versa, in terms of, for example, flesh, or more generally, selfhood. a happy accident. though i would never presume to attribute any central meaning to music, such border crossings are a constant in my life and most likely inform my composition process as it unfolds in front of the laptop, moving or being still, listening, inside or out. it’s a delightful paradox, the ongoing flux that finds its faithful correlate in the pull towards a relative silence and calm. also delightful was my good friend and collaborator dean king’s willingness to contribute sound material for this piece, in addition to a much needed critical ear. after a few limited edition cd-r releases as eto ami, we were due a joint project. many of these sounds i processed further and set about composing – a long and sometimes arduous course that prompted its own numerous excursions through borders. most importantly, however, i was reminded of the pleasures of camaraderie, even at a distance.

montreal sound matter / montréal matières sonore

works by francisco lópez / louis dufort / steve heimbecker / hélène prévost / mathieu lévesque / a_dontigny / chantal dumas / tomas phillips

montreal sound matter / montréal matières sonore brings together eight canadian and international sound artists. the project began with a workshop on environmental sound collecting by francisco lópez and led to the development of a collective sound project including an album, a sound installation, and a concert. this is the recording.

the artists create an immersive sound installation made up of fragments of montreal, which propose a reflection and a questioning on the city. far from being a postcard, these sound portraits suggest an abstract view of montreal made up of fragments modeled or transformed to the liking of the artists. through these places turned non-places and thus more or less unrecognizable, the pieces present an interesting variety of aesthetics, constructions and creative processes. - esther bourdages

...

yet it is not about the city as a conglomerate of soundmarks or stereotyped symbolic elements--it does not aim at making a sound portrait or a representational creation. my proposal to all the participating artists involved in the project was to foresee the city --both outdoors and indoors, both the public and the private spaces-- as a constantly-changing generator of sound matter. the original source environmental recordings were carried out by the participating artists in montreal during april 2006, and we all shared the common pool of sound matter thus generated to create the individual pieces. i believe this is an interesting way of setting up a challenging situation in which we are dealing with a limited and intentionally restricted universe of sonic extractions of reality, and also -and more importantly-a straightforward way of proceeding to reveal the creative individual substance of each one of us.” - francisco lópez
