加拿大电子组合

成员:Christina Sealey, Richard Oddie

Orphx has been creating and exploring a grey area between minimal techno, noise, and electro-acoustic music. Using an assortment of synthesizers, samplers, feedback systems, and various homemade instruments, Orphx draws upon the darker fringes of techno, electro and dub, combining these elements with the experimental aesthetics of early industrial music.

The project began in 1993 as a trio consisting of artists Richard Oddie, Christina Sealey and Aron West. Early recordings and live performances used primitive equipment to produce psychedelic noisescapes. West left the group in 1995 to focus attention on noise project Tropism with collaborator Johnny Dark, while Oddie and Sealey began incorporating more rhythmic structural elements into Orphx.

Orphx has since gained a substantial international following as one of the pioneering acts within the European "rhythmic noise" scene, while making increasingly strong connections with like-minded artists on the experimental fringes of techno and electro. Oddie and Sealey have performed in numerous countries around the world, appearing alongside artists such as Alva Noto, Byetone, Hakim Bey, Esplendor Geometrico, Funkstorung, Istvan Kantor, Pan Sonic, Polmo Polpo, Venetian Snares, Vromb and many others. Oddie and Sealey have also collaborated on numerous audio/visual projects and exhibitions related to their musical output.

Orphx has released a number of influential albums and singles since the mid 1990s, combining elements of techno with power electronics (Fragmentation, 1996; Vita Mediativa, 1998) and electro-acoustic soundscapes inspired by “acoustic ecology” (The Living Tissue, 2001; Other Voices, 2002). More recent releases combine all of these approaches into new hybrids of synthetic / organic sound (Circuitbreaking, 2004; Insurgent Flows, 2005, Teletai 2008). The Division 12" on Sonic Groove (2009) marks a new phase for the project, developing their unique sound and further blurring the boundaries between techno, industrial and dub.
