PRESS RELEASE
LINE is proud to present Intermission/Six Feuilles by artist
Tomas Phillips. This work was created out of the desire to wed
acoustic and digital instrumentation in a particular
compositional field, one that allows room for (a)tonal and
silent gestures alike. Piano and │koto▓ are accompanied by the
shifting texture of physically manipulated organic materials,
in combination with minimal electronics whose function is to
engage rather than to counter the non-digital elements. More
than an homage to Morton Feldman, the title is a direct
reference to his own series of │Intermissions,▓ from which
Intermission|Six Feuilles draws much of its decisiveness and
inspiration.
Tomas Phillips (b. 1969) is a composer, novelist and teacher
whose sound work focuses on improv performance and minimalist
through-composition. He began composing electronic music in the
early 1990s, releasing limited edition cd-rs under such
monikers as Sea Optic, Lisbon and Eto Ami (with Dean King) and
has since created music for installations and collaborations in
dance and theater. Tomas has taught in the disciplines of
literature and fine arts at various universities in the US,
QuΘbec and Finland. He currently lives in Montreal, where he
will have completed an interdisciplinary PhD by 2007.
