Fovea Hex continues to shape-shift and to evade & confound
those who bray "what exactly IS it?", and "where does it
BELONG exactly?", and "who exactly belongs to IT?". If you
must bang on the table like that, you won't hear a thing. If
this music could be described as "up-to-the-moment", then
perhaps we could use an up-to-the-moment term like
"collective". But eschewing all Fashion Accessory stalls,
Fovea Hex lives as many blocks away from the shock'n'awe
factory beloved of the avant-garde, as it does from the
souvenir-strewn temple of the new nostalgics. "Songs that
don't go where you think. With voices to match......" somebody
said recently. At the end of the day, that's about all that
can be said with any kind of a certainty.
The first release from Fovea Hex is a limited edition set of 3
cd eps entitled NEITHER SPEAK NOR REMAIN SILENT, on Janet
Records of Dublin and Die Stadt Records of Bremen. ep1,
"BLOOM" was released November 1 2005, and for a first release,
it received astonishing critical acclaim. ep 2 "HUGE" was
released May 10 2006, and was featured by Underworld, in its
entirety, as the finale to their webcast from dirty.org. The
reviews brim with superlatives. ep 3 "ALLURE" was released
June 1 2007.......
Among the participants are Michael Begg, Carter Burwell, Roger
Doyle, Brian Eno, Roger Eno, Robert Fripp, Percy Jones, Cora
Venus Lunny, Donal Lunny, Andrew Mckenzie, Sarah McQuaid, Hugh
O'Neill, Colin Potter, Lydia Sasse, Laura Sheeran, Clodagh
Simonds and Steven Wilson.
