The artists
Philippe Vandal is a Montreal-based instrumentalist and producer concerned with the creation of structures and landscapes in a sonic medium. He has released work with notable experimental labels Jeunesse Cosmique, Phinery, Never Anything and Archive Officielle, among others. His most recent serving of sonic architecture is accompanied with visual interpretations of the compositions, rendered in 3D digital interfaces. The forms and structures of each track are mimicked in their static statuesque nature, brought to life by the characterization and time-based movement of the sound. Each calls to the listener’s mind a glistening dreamy landscape where form is vague and not quite as it seems.
Death and rebirth are core themes of this new Montreal based project. Froid takes us on a journey through desolate landscapes and, as the name suggests, into a world devoid of warmth yet dappled with its own type of light. Parenthesis or mandatory withdrawal, L’Adjective brings the listener to places where one is often reluctant to go. Apprehending feelings of sorrow and emptiness head-on, the piece also proves serene and aerial at times and and resolves with a sense of openness. Froid is a reminder that those dark places are part of us, and that we should embrace them for that very reason. Let us die, and be reborn. As many times as the flowers blossom.
