Independent child of the new European hybrid music, Tom Val (also leading his own DIY label Les Disques Omnison) has been hiding behind his Orion Music Workshop for nearly five years now. His music seems to wander through a maze of distorting mirrors, avoiding the trap of categorization: folk? industrial? jazz? Out of time, like watching a dreamachine turn upside down in a megalithic enclosure. Ancient evocations of the flute, detuned synthesizers, pantraditional rituals, fragile improvisations. The filiation with the French experimental musicians of the 70s and 80s (DDAA, Pascal Comelade, Vox Populi come to mind) is never far away, and neither is that with their unclassifiable contemporaries, the stage is set in the bizarre and DIY Hexagon.
