WM063: Various Artists - Mystic Moods
I'm Dr Buoyant - Warp philtre memorials
Bio: I'm Dr Buoyant is the solo project of
Tony Rimbaud, member of Brighton-based purveyors of electropoetica
Malevich, along with Nick Rilke. He is also a founder member of the
Spirit of Gravity collective, helping to produce events and CDs of
electronic and experiential music.
As a member of Malevich, Tony provides a backdrop of electronics,
samples, treated guitar and effects to Nick Rilke's text and
turntablism, producing improvised soundscapes and songs with a
variety of moods and influences. More recently, Malevich have
performed under the name This Sound Bureaucracy.
As part of the Spirit of Gravity collective, Tony has appeared
onstage with other members in impromptu and improvised settings,
including Same Actor, Rashamon and Minimal Impact.
Tony is now producing solo work, extending the techniques used in
these performances in a more focused methodology of abstract
electronic improvisation. "I'm Dr Buoyant" works specifically with
loops treated through digital and synthesised effects, producing an
organically developed wash of electronic sound.
3 short works have been self-produced on 8 cm CD-Rs, including a
recording of a live performance at the Spirit of Gravity in April
2006. Selections are available as downloads from his website.
Track: “The Mystic speaks of the need to
connect with the inner life, the inner power of the human soul. But
in these days of defiant externality, of iPods and white water
rafting, is this call to listen to the inner voice not somewhat
unsettling?”
