Pharsical
knob twiddler
Pharsical is someone you don't know but somehow it feels like you do. The sounds are exquisite, and change delicatley - this is sound art as it should be. Pharsical is project of a long time new music supporter in a cloak... not to be missed.
Bib Gnaw
Perth laptop artist
Bib Gnaw is really Traianos Pakioufakis chewing his bad manners. With the computers and accompaning software available these days, along with the fact he has been producing electronic music since the age of 14, his records are not quite what you'd expect. The handful of independent releases (of which three are available) have been released as complete mono recordings. Bib Gnaw uses no effects in his sound, however, does thrive on battered-synths to give that distinct one-off feeling. Clicks, blips, drill and 707.
CHRIS HUDSON, ON THE 78'S WEBSITE: "RECORD OF THE WEEK BIB GNAW - A STANDING MEDWAY
What are you doing buying all that foreign electronic music? Huh? Why buys Fennesz, Boards of Canada and Autechre when you can have Bib Gnaw? It is local. It is better."
