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.
