Hello circular people.
My label Sulphur seems to be taking shape now - many intriguing releases lined
up for the year. Always check out my new informative website which will detail
forthcoming releases and events if you find the time.

Sound art as a medium seems to be the new black- with shows cocurrently running
in Tokyo at ICC- 'Sound Art:Sound as Media', 'Audible Light' at MOMA in Oxford
UK, 'Noise' in Cambridge UK and forthcoming shows at the Hayward Gallery in
London and in Vienna Austria. Each seems to be exhibiting a refreshing view on the
work happening, some more focused on the sculptural force of sound, others on the
cross over between mediums and disciplines. The Vienna show will be intriguing as
many artists will be present as exhibits themselves within the gallery making work
in a temporary studio so come along and bring some sandwiches!
My new collaborative CD release with David Shea has just come out on Sub Rosa
and is the first in a new series on this label to explore the genre of easy listening
within a contemporary electronic context. Amusingly entitled 'Free Chocolate Love'
it presents a collection of sentimental and cinematic works for you to enjoy a virtual
journey through silky sheets of soothing sound.
Anyhow, back to the housework. Thanks as ever for the support.
Best wishes
Robin Rimbaud
