Wanda Group (UK)
Opal Tapes
Wanda Group (aka Louis Johnstone) uses the sounds he captures on tape recorder to fire his experiments in sound. This seemingly mundane method produces surprising results. Johnstone’s examination of the grey areas between rhythmic electronica and sound art leads to a strong element of displacement and abstraction in his work. Balancing passages of Musique Concrète against a barrage of cut and paste techniques and wild experiments with found sounds can at first seem confusing, or too willful; but more often than not Wanda Group’s sonic explorationscreate inspiring work.Wanda Group recently released A Slab About Being Held Captive on NNA Tapes.
