"DISTORSION" NIGHT with-and-for Philippe Laurent.<br>
<br>
"plastic artist, musician and designer. Whether working with graphic
codes or digital codes, plastic arts or music, Laurent’s approach is
one of research, specifically having to do with people’s perception
of signs and symbols. As a multi-media artist, he has always been
open to new technologies, whether he is composing musical works or
creating graphic works. During the 90s, he reached a landmark with
his inter-disciplinary work via shows in France and Germany, by
designing complex pieces that mixed various advanced techniques. His
paintings, the illusion of calligraphies on monochromic funds, pose
a question about the relationship between signs and meanings.
Philippe Laurent develops ideograms party figural and partly
abstraction, aiming to never repeat the same figure twice, like the
writing of a lost continent or of an original language, a code which
would have preceded all the other languages and which would have
been lost. This game of ambiguity asks the fundamental question of
the ontological state of the written language in our western
societies. Philippe Laurent comes from a long personal study of the
shapes of early symbols and letters which leads to the sublime
nature of an esoteric alphabet."<br>

** Minimal Wave is proud to present HOT-BIP a full length LP by
French mastermind Philippe Laurent. The LP is entitled Hot-Bip, a
pseudonym Laurent used throughout the 80s and 90s and also the title
of his 1983 cassette on Fraction Studio. Hot-Bip features tracks
recorded between 1979-1988, most of which have either remained
unreleased or only previously appeared on scarce 80s experimental
cassette compilations. Laurent’s music can be described as spacey
synthpop, containing much depth and range. It is edgy, political and
pushes the limits, transforming his sound beyond one specific genre.
Hints of classical influences as well as electro influences can be
heard. Hot-Bip showcases Laurent’s best musical output from the 80’s
and includes some very avant-garde pieces from as early as 1979. A
limited edition of 999 hand-numbered copies, this LP is pressed on
180 gram, translucent red vinyl and housed in a black and white
matte printed heavyweight sleeve<br>
