Ombrophilia is a collection of sound experiments I made with porcelain bowls filled with water between 2006 and 2008. Inspired by Jalatarangam, traditional Indian instrument, I started to play the ‘waterbowls’ with wooden spoons and metal wire (Mylapore, Jalatarangam Revisited). Since I immersed hydrophones in them, I have tried various ways of resonating the bowls without touching their surface : flicking, stirring, waving and dripping water… All the compositions here are multitracked and edited on computer. I also inserted thin layers of field recordings I made in South India, notably in beautiful Mylapore of Chennai, where I met one of the last masters of Jalatarangam, Aanayampatti Ganesan. (Tomoko Sauvage. 2011). Vinyl re-issue of “Ombrophilia”. Aposiopèse 2012. Tomoko sauvage Ombrophilia, previously released by and/OAR cd 2009.
Initialement paru sur And/Oar en 2009 en format CD, Ombrophilia est réédité par un jeune label franco-belge inspiré par la poétique paysagère et l’ambient délicate. Tomoko Sauvage travaille avec des bols de porcelaine plus ou moins remplis d’eau pour obtenir des hauteurs mouvantes et instables aux teintes très féériques. Et il est difficile d’y résister.
