"Canadian electronic artist Solvent was commissioned to create an all-modular synthesizer based soundtrack for the forthcoming documentary I Dream of Wires; The challenge allowed him the opportunity to work with a vast array of modular synthesizers, both new and vintage.

Solvent, born Jason Amm in Zimbabwe, and currently residing in Toronto, Canada, has been releasing his unique brand of analogue synthesizer music since 1997, encompassing crunchy IDM, melodic electro, and vocoder synthpop. Best known for his releases on Morr Music and Ghostly International, Solvent is also co-founder of the obscure, yet influential electro(nica) label, Suction Records. All of the music heard in this video segment was created by Solvent during several on-camera album recording sessions. No drum machines, samples, or hardwired synthesizers were used; each and every sound was created from scratch on the following selection of modular synthesizer systems: Eurorack, Modcan, Synthesizers.com, and Moog 15.

In addition to creating the film's soundtrack, Amm has recently been serving as writer and producer for "I Dream Of Wires".

Solvent was scheduled to perform live on June 2nd, 10pm at the Satosphere as part of I Dream Of Wires' 2012 MUTEK showcase, but unfortunately his performance at the event has been cancelled.

L'artiste canadien Solvent a été mandaté pour créer la bande-son du prochain documentaire I Dream of Wires; L'occasion pour lui de travailler avec une vaste gamme de synthétiseurs modulaires, à la fois nouvelle et vintage.

Jason Amm, né au Zimbabwe, et résidant actuellement à Toronto, présente depuis 1997 un style musical synthétique unique, englobant IDM, électro mélodique et synthpop. Mieux connu pour ses sorties sur Morr Music et Ghostly International, Solvent est aussi le co-fondateur de l'obscure et influente étiquette électronica Suction Records. La musique de cet extrait vidéo a été produite au cours de plusieurs séances d'enregistrement à huis clos. Pas de boîtes à rythmes, ni d'échantillonages ou de synthétiseurs câblés; Chaque son a été créé à partir de la sélection suivante de systèmes de synthétiseur modulaire: Eurorack, Modcan, Synthesizers.com [1], et Moog 15.

En plus d'en composer la bande originale, Jason Amm a aussi récemment tenu les rôles de scénariste et producteur pour "I Dream Of Wires".

Solvent était programmé le samedi 2 Juin à la Satosphère, dans le cadre du documentaire I Dream Of Wires. Malheureusement, sa participation à l'événement a été annulée.

  1. I really hope Cynthia Webster isnt included in this documentary as she currently owes over $10k of money or goods to honest people who paid for products as far back as 2008.
