Prometheus(Unbound)-EMP

About Me

Prometheus(Unbound)/WTR is a member of EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) and also occasionally collaborates with the MURMURISTS and Comfy Rubbish. Prometheus (Unbound)'s output crosses over between Experimental, Electro-Acoustic, Improvisational Music and Soundscapes to Sonic & Visual Art (Painting, Sculpture, Installations etc etc). I/We hope you enjoy what you hear and see. Check out other band members and artist collaborators pages, these can be found in 'my friends' (scroll down)Cheers for giving your Time and Space to our Space and Time! from Prometheus (Unbound) and all at EMP------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- “Art is an outlet towards regions which are not ruled by time and space”Marcel Duchamp...---... ...---... ...---... ...---... ...---... ...---... ...---... ...---... ...---... ...---... ...---...EMP are a group of visual/sonic artists and musicians lead by three core members (see myspace top friends): Ad B/zoologic, Dean R/EMP & W.T. Richards/Prometheus(Unbound)-EMP. This core trio is often joined by one or more of the following, Dave C/Igor’s Roomy Labcoat, Noel K/Kidderowski, Dave P/DLP and on occasion by Laura T (English and French dialogue). ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------EMP is an experimental, electro-acoustic, improvisational group. A collaboration between artists and musicians who looking for new artistic paradigms, collaborate to create spontaneous, improvised, sonic-art/music/soundscapes and installation/environments. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- Whilst searching for new artistic avenues EMP experiment and attempt to blur the boundaries between different artistic modes and media, crossing over, exploring and dwelling occasionally in the grey areas between art/noise/performance /sound/music/spoken word/dialogue etc to create soundscapes/music?/visual art and/or sonic art installations. ------------------------------------------------------------ ----- The music is treated as one would a painting, starting each time with a blank canvas and responding to each mark made. Adding tone, colour and texture, sometimes in an abstract way, sometimes with a broken narrative, slowly building an aural picture, a sonic tapestry.The palette is made from primary colours, mixed and altered to create secondary and tertiary colours. We use conventional and non-conventional instruments, synths, soft synths, electric piano, guitars, percussion, laptops, PCs, field recordings, samples, sequencing, live sampling, voices, toys, microphones, interference sounds etc anything that can be used to audible effect.Performance is sometimes loosely themed, put into context around a particular subject/idea or concept and accompanied by video/film and projections, which adds a visual context to the theme.Performance for example may be an audio-visual representation/exploration of say the conscious and unconscious, 'Inner and Outer Space', the 'Macro and Micro', the infinitely large and the infinitely small, 'Fact and Fiction'... dichotomies and juxtapositions...We see parallels between the visual and the sonic, we paint & sculpt with sound, you get the idea.------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse):-''When making visual art we want; rhythm, harmony, discord, something sharp and bright or dull and muted, something that shouts and something that whispers; sharp contrasts but with subtle tones within, a play on scale, an ambiguity of space. The work is sometimes very Minimalist, sparse, empty, void. Then again, it may be juxtaposed, contradicted or negated by a Maximalist piece/passage that has an overloaded, saturated, intense or overbearing aesthetic...'' ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ ''When creating soundscapes or music we are looking to play with colour, line, texture, tone, using anything we can make a mark/sound with (traditional and non-traditional instruments: drums, percussion, guitars, keyboards, synths etc, laptops, toys, field recordings, 'made' instruments, sometimes prepared instruments, samples etc...), reacting to each mark made, slowly weaving colour and texture into an aural tapestry. Sonic ephemera turns to something solid, visual, even sculptural or architectural. This in turn may be deconstructed and then made afresh, a piece of work that lives in temporality, open to change, in a constant state of flux, a perpetual shift between, light and dark, construction and deconstruction, whilst all the time dissolving the edges... and vice versa.''

Simple brief/outline: to photograph my surroundings as they are, as I find them. Whatever takes my eye, from the boring and banal in the world around me, to some of the odd juxtapositions, contradictions and ambiguities I see from day to day. As the work progresses it may include images from my domestic/home world, as well as the larger outside world around me. Eventually there will be photos from travels abroad, thus the umbrella title This World-My World. ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- ...---... ...---... ...---......---... ...---... ...---... ...---... ...---...
