Bio:

Gill de la tourette, audio-visual/installation artist,real name steven tevels born 1972 at Brussels,Belgium. Inspired by the glorious "radio- and thereminage ",he decide to build his own G.S.R.(galvanic skin response) laboratory instrumentation. These crackleboxes are analogue "touch and pressure" sensitive analogue lo/fi devices based on medical electronic circuits. Circuitbent finger board interfaces that could translate human touch and gesture into the sound and vision world. The handling of physical effort is part of universal language. In case of,the listener can feel the performer's touch and recognize the physical and mental effort. In fact,G.D.L.T. connects his body (like a human electronic resistor) between these self-made devices and a unit of effektmodules. He generates minimal clicks, glitches,radionoise and fragmented cuts. So,the listener must be able to savour hissing static noise, broken samples and sometimes almost unending distortion. G.D.L.T. will challenge the contemporary concept about what is called music, melody or blissful noise. Embarked on a search for an unique artform, he decide, on a blue monday, to quit with everything before and start to sound in a totally different way. Steven works in the intersticial space between the physical and digital world. His idea was
to create something like an anti-synthese, an audible and visible reproduction of mental energy, an extreme form of free audio-visual experience. Electricity as sound versus mental heal proces. Someone who controls, tweaks and navigates lost electronic sounds into cosmic dimensions.

Review:

比利時布魯塞爾藝術家Steven Tevels ，化身Gill De La Tourette，藉簡陋醫療設備的概念，研製攝取皮膚觸感與肢體動作，兩者所生能量的電子組件，並將電流轉構為聲音與視像介面，嘗試另闢新途，表達自己的藝術意念；也利用此物理成果，讓授眾分享其當下的精神與肉體狀況。同時，亦對音樂、旋律或噪音等當代聲樂概念作出反思。游走於物理與數碼場域的隙罅，無線電雜訊或無止失真的騷動，串連接叠建構出層次豐厚的音牆；斷音切割、瞬間干擾與極微點擊的碰撞，飄忽不定懸浮在難測的多維度空間；靜態噪音連綿不絕在修正被動意識，旨在達至契合精神之境。 --- By Nihilist www.sonicity.org
