about

n 2013, i was invited to tijuana and baja california to produce new audio works with the mexican artists roberto romero molina and luis ituarte. as part of my residency, i was also supplied with the materials to produce a series of visuals works. although the materials and setup offered were dramatically different than my home studio, i tend to enjoy working with limitations, and quickly developed a way of drawing using handfuls of coloured pencils, tea bags, tea stains, and other simple materials to form multi-threaded lines and marks. these drawings began to resemble circuit diagrams, with particles and waves of current moving back and forth.

when i returned to home to canada, i sent one of these drawings* to lee noyes as a compositional proposition. lee’s fantastic realization of the visual score, along with my own contribution, were combined to form the album particles & waves - lance austin olsen

lee noyes - no input mixer

Another wonderful album of the unique Philip Sulidae! With this particular touch to train us, using natural sounds, in a cold and strange universe that slides gently towards a silence, which it breaks with textures a little rasping, strident or chaotic. A great album to listen absolutely, maybe the best! I have a huge favorite for the fourth track, "Valley Floor, Nights and Frogs" which is delicious. drone2805
