Always still one of my favorites...and often following what Converse is up to...especially when John Varvatos is involved. But this is something quite different and special in its own right. Meet Felix.
Using a mix of traditional instruments and miscellaneous everyday items, Felix builds complex sculptures that turn his electronic compositions into acoustic sounds, reinventing what it means to make music.
It all began with his parent’s piano. “I built a mechanism that allowed it to draw,” Felix explains. “Playing it would produce a graphic recording, a kind of reverse score.”
And it went on from there. Felix’s machines are now musical sculptures that are all about aesthetic and sensory pleasure. Constructed in his bedroom, the countless abstractions act as blueprints that, as Felix says “create a space where artificial and dream-like environments can become a reality.”
Converse-You're It!
