Nose Points in Different Directions

Soleilmoon: "A retrospective of choice cuts from the past five years of musical activity from Ergo Phizmiz, featuring rarities, previously unreleased tracks, and excerpts from Ergo's work for radio, soundtracks, installations, and short-run releases. All tracks have been remastered for sound quality. Ergo Phizmiz is an artist who deals with the transformation of the familiar into the unrecognisable, the points of divergence between art forms, and the possibilities presented by the juxtaposition of samples. Using installation, radio art, digital art, live performance, event & release curation, and video art, he has created work for The Tate Modern, The Royal Festival Hall, The Dutch Academy of Fine-Art, Geneva School of Art, Kulturbunker, Cherbourg-Octeville Ecole des Musique, PRS Foundation, Kirin Plaza Gallery Osaka, Arts Council England, Sonic Arts Network, Resonance FM, Super-Deluxe Tokyo, WFMU, and most recently a commission for BBC Radio 3, 'Wholepole-The Discotheque Of Erotic Misery'. It was the first ever large-scale work by a primarily electronic artist to be commissioned by the station. Ergo currently has his own weekly radio show on WFMU New York, 'The Phuj Phactory', which he describes as 'fragmented radiomash for the gunk food jeneration'. This show explores the format of DJ radio through presenting fragmented sections of songs and music, collages & mash-ups, and experimenting with the relationships between sounds conceptually as well as musically."
