British artist Robin Rimbaud traverses the experimental terrain between
sound, space, image and form, creating absorbing, multi-layered sound
pieces that twist technology in unconventional ways. From his early
controversial work using found mobile phone conversations, through to his
focus on trawling the hidden noise of the modern metropolis as the symbol
of the place where hidden meanings and missed contacts emerge, his
restless explorations of the experimental terrain have won him
international admiration from amongst others, Bjork,
Aphex
Twin and Stockhausen.

This Sound Bureaucracy, I’m Dr Buoyant improvises with loops treated
through digital and synthesised effects, based on random samples captured
and manipulated in a live setting - unlikely source material producing an
organically developed wash of electronic sound.
From DJ Cheesemaster’s review of the
I’m Dr Buoyant live set in April 2006:
"..live he built on the acoustic
vignettes, expanding on them, sometimes letting us feel the joy of extreme
repetition, sometimes taking them off on little side paths, through the
fertile gardens of his imaginings and sometimes thickening up the sound
with echo and effects. For some reason I was reminded of the techno del
norte of Robert Rodriguez. But what that
reason was I don’t know!"
Slashs Wormhole
Henry is tidy, Henry likes to use the vacuum
cleaner late at night. Slash's Wormhole is Henry's new project which
features a homemade bass guitar crafted from the body of a hoover
boss loop pedal, circuit-bent keyboards and toys.
