Phill Niblock
Composer, filmmaker and photographer Phill Niblock, who also runs the Experimental Intermedia Foundation in SoHo, writes noble, hypnotic, majestic music guaranteed to mess with your head. The works are constituted of sustained sounds for large instrumental ensembles of the same family (all strings, all flutes, all trombones, etc.) that very gradually change their timbre and pitch characteristics. Niblock's big microtonal drones develop without melody or rhythm, according to an almost imperceptible, geographically slow notion of movement. His recent films are painstaking studies of manual labor, giving a poetic dignity to the sheer grueling slog of fishermen at work, rice-planters, log-splitters, water-hole dredgers and other backbreaking toilers. Beyond the stunning sounds and hypnotic images, Niblock deliberately designs systems wherein his materials intersect in unintentional, yet uncanny combinations to which the audience can’t help but superimpose its own meanings and forms.
