Brume…Having not heard that term nor any of Christian Renou’s work prior, it was quite the revelatory experience to listen to his recordings and hear a similar approach to my own…sound organization and development free from the constraints of commercial expectation, where any sound can be utilized musically or equally placed in a context where musicality is of little importance. Renou’s work is very conversational, with the various elements falling in sync, out of, in discourse with each other…all together communicating a robust sonic picture with vibrant tonal colors.
AuOH – 2022 Brume compilation Bio & Info
AuOH is the genre-defying multimedia solo project of CHRIS MAMA BAUER: composer, improviser, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist.
Amongst a myriad of recording and internationally touring projects, CMB co-founded the infamous Canadian scum-rockers Stagmummer (Sudden Death recording artist, who worked with both legendary engineer Steve Albini and producer GGGARTH) and Transistor 66 artist American Flamewhip.
AuOH releases demonstrate CMB’s ability to spontaneously craft and develop sonic landscapes that challenge the imagination and place the listener on a journey down the roads less travelled. Audio monsterpieces abound, which CMB frequently refers to as Interplanetary World Music. Live performances build upon the audio terrain with an arresting presentation of CMB’s digital visual art, cascading unwitting audiences with a cornucopia of kaleidoscopic delights and ugly beauty.
