Vibraphone and fixed media
Gr@w£ix (Grawlix) uses loops in a similar way to DJs and other live performers. Material is played, recorded and played back while a something new is recorded on top of this loop. This process continues any number of times to stack material and create the effect of multiple players from just one person. The material of Gr@w£ix is inspired by electronic dance music fused with a contemporary percussion style. The term grawlix refers to a string of typographical symbols (such as %@$&*!) used in place of an obscenity, especially in comic strips.
Gr@w£ix was commissioned by a consortium lead by Matthew Lau
