Circulator

mikehoolboom As light as air. And just as heavy. This new suite of tracks floats on a bed of air, menace and welcome, a brooding, tactile presence. Like the part of a movie just after the unnameable thing happened. Here are traces of the aftermath, luminous and forever suggestive.

about

LINE_149

'Circulator' continues a nocturnal pathway developed from Sulidae’s previous LINE release, 'Perplexor' (LINE_108) in 2020.

Composed from found sound sourced mainly from film, 'Circulator' is a stage set of fragments and passages tangentially linked. Collected over the last five years, these sound portions were processed, interweaved and concentrated into eleven pieces. Evoking an uncanny absence and detached from their origin, these vignettes strike a resonant chord that is simultaneously suggestive and remote.

Together they form a palimpsest of narrative that leads in contradictory paths, circling and returning.

Philip Sulidae is an artist from Hobart, Australia.

His practice draws on over a decade of sound art practice, focusing on field recording and acousmatic recordings. During this time he has created intriguing and compelling sound recordings many of which have been released by labels including Line Editions, Gruenrekorder and Dinzu Artefacts.

More recently, Sulidae has broadened this practice into installations that use found object and sculptural form. These works utilise a fluidity and instability of sound to provide a freedom to speculate, whilst the inherent connection that recording and found object has with place gives rise to a tension between the known and unknown. This has in turn reconfigured his recording practice with more emphasis on found sound, phonology and the interconnection of memory and imagination.
