Floris Vanhoof - Cycles of Confusion (2012)

just what the doctor ordered :: a pair of long-form (i.e. side-length) extrapolations on the various tropes that make up “synthesizer music” by easily one of my favorite contemporary practitioners of said (as well as being a fine builder, film-maker, historian, etc. - real polyglot stuff at work here folks) ...

[...]on the flip is a honey of an auto-concrète masterpiece, starting in the pinball arcade, slowly destroyed / torn asunder via filters, weeping phase-pad, room-toned events, descending space, muzak syrup, interjecting arabesques, orchestral fanfare & tuning, ring modcrackle, “somewhere over the rainbow” on new year’s eve amidst an array of handling noise(s), etc ...

Floris Vanhoof - Entrepot Fictief performance 09.10 (2011)

Filmmaker and musician Floris Vanhoof (Belgium, 1982) approaches the celluloid of his films and the electronic components of his instruments closely. Electronic circuits are vivified inspired by the liveliness of what happened around structural film and West Coast Free- and Tape music. With an arrangement of electronic gear and film- or slide projectors he searches for the essence and potential of multi media performance. Every concert becomes a hybrid form of projected images, an electronic patchwork and field recorded sounds.
