Summer Sundae 08 : Origami Biro & The Joy of Box
Tom:
Origami Biro is Tom Hill: Formerly one half of the acclaimed electronica duo, Wauvenfold (Wichita Records), Tom's work has earned himself a reputation among the likes of Björk, Super Furry Animals and none other than John Peel himself, for whom Wauvenfold recorded session work aired on Radio One. His debut album as Origami Biro, 'Cracked Mirrors and Stopped Clocks' (Expanding Records) sees Tom shift away from the angular beat contortions of Wauvenfold to sculpt an album described as "An absolutely beautiful journey through subtle, delicate and, above all, gloriously introspective music." (smallfish records). "A thoroughly beautiful listen which you'd do well to investigate without delay." (boomkat).
Jim:
The Joy of Box is Jim Boxall. Jim has been working with moving images and live visuals for 14 years and has collaborated with a diverse range of artists such as Theo Travis, Do Make say Think, Dj Krush, Raphael Lozano-Hemmer, Autechre, Jan Kopinski, Hexstatic and Nitin Sawhney. Jim has also performed live at five of The Big Chill festivals since 2002 during his collaboration with fellow video artist Jon Gillie under the name of av_dv. Jim's collaboration with origamibiro is a heady culmination of all of his previous experience with visuals "video artist Jim Boxall manipulates and weaves an intriguing and original experience. The mixture of scored and improvised music set to video projections is a performance of eloquence and intensity" (Jazzwise)
