| 00015 PHROQ:: Esthetism Of Randoms |
| price:: 6euros exclu postage order back Vital Weekly The Herbal Records, owned by Goh Lee Kwang, is slowly expanding their catalogue, beyond the work of Goh himself. There is a regular series of Herbal Records and a series of limited CDRs in an edition of just forty copies. That seems like a rather low key affair, but apparently attractive enough for musicians to join in. Some of these artists have already made their name in the world of CDR and MP3 releases. People like Phroq for instance. In many of his work the use of field recordings play an important role. On his release he has four sounds running at the same time and some random filter to process his sounds. The original field recordings disappeared almost entirely from the scene and is replaced by the static crackle and hiss of the computer filters, sometimes being under attack by the deep drone bass of a refrigerator coming alive. Quite nice. -Frans De Waard- |
| 1. Spanish/Swiss artist Francisco Meirino has started the music project Phroq in 1994.
2. He has released more than 30 albums (cd-cdr-vinyl) all over the world, has collaborated with many artists (music-dance-video), performed live in Europe, Japan, Usa. 3. His music, at first harsh noise, has evolved into a complex and consrantly changing electronic soundscape. The tension and precision of his dynamic electroacoustic music is fascinating, always alternating between suspicious calmness and intense noise. 4. Francisco Meirino explores the tension between emptiness and fullness. His works constantly swings from silence to noise, from peace to chaos. |
