Ombrophilia
is a collection of sound experiments I made with porcelain bowls filled
with water between 2006 and 2008. Inspired by Jalatarangam, traditional
Indian instrument, I started to play the 'waterbowls' with wooden
spoons and metal wire (Mylapore, Jalatarangam Revisited). Since I
immersed hydrophones in them, I have tried various ways of resonating
the bowls without touching their surface : flicking, stirring, waving
and dripping water…
All the compositions here are multitracked and edited on computer.
I also inserted thin layers of field recordings I made in South India,
notably in beautiful Mylapore of Chennai, where I met one of the last
masters of Jalatarangam, "Aanayampatti Ganesan") — Tomoko Sauvage
Tomoko Sauvage imbues her music with the
liquid unpredictability of her primary sound source, and renders each
individual sound as a vivid sense impression. I can easily imagine that
her art is extremely effective in installation settings, with unique
spatial resonances and site-specific ambience exploited to the maximum;
but Ombrophilia offers it in crystalline distillation, multitracked and
artfully edited on hard disc —
