Backscatter is the debut solo release from Australian electronic artist Robin Fox. The DVD contains ten audio-visual suites that meld sound and vision at the point of signal pathway and current. The works were composed for the cathode ray oscilloscope in such a way that the electricity used to generate sound is also used to excite a single light photon across a phosphorous screen.
The results of this one to one audio-visual relationship are often surprising yet make sense on some deeply synaesthetic level. The10 suites vary dramatically from the beautiful and subtle Nyquist Variations to the hard edged conceptualism of Green Multiple Rondo, from the generative phase relationships in Phase One and Phase Two to the ecstatic Mandala improvisations.
Mixed in Dolby 5.1 but also containing a full spectrum stereo mix.
This release re-connects synapses that have been dis-connected for too long!
Robin Fox live at the East Brunswick Club, Melbourne 21.01.07
