Title Description:
Apart from being recognised as two of AustraliaÕs leading improvisingmusical forces, Clayton Thomas and Robin Fox are also acknowledged for their unrelenting experiments and divergent acoustic approaches in relationto their instrument of choice. Over the past 3 years, Robin Fox has developed some of the most powerfullive processing tools in Australia through his research with MAXMSP. Clayton Thomas on the other hand has expanded his performance styles, movingbetween blistering free jazz explosions to introverted and delicate expandedpreparations on his 100 year old double bass. The results of this pairing are, as youÕd expect, are as diverse as they arespectacular. Unrelenting double bass movements are reprocessed into microtonal washes of sound Ð vibrated objects are transformed intouncharacteristic acoustic phenomena. This record expands on the techniques of electro-acoustic traditions andaligns both acoustic and electronic sounds in an integrated sonicenvironment where the lines between player and machine, instrument and processing are blurred and redefined.a
