cooper bowman: the isle of isms

Cooper Bowman is a Melbourne-based visual and sound artist working in the margins of the Australian experimental and electronic scene. Following shows in Berlin, Warsaw, and Helsinki, Bowman swiftly recorded and assembled Isle Of Isms, a suite of short vignettes forming a cohesive whole. Made with minimal equipment (tape loops, synthesizer + effects) and recorded directly to tape, Isle Of Isms is largely informed by the processes associated with early kraut electronics and musique concrète. This release hints at the mystery of improvisation, wherein Bowman allows for chance-based encounters with sound, forgoing the stricter templates of his other projects.
