DAVE PHILLIPS - Dave Phillips re/searches and ponders existences and behaviourisms humanimalistically via sonic de/construction, psycho-acoustics and challenging social/human boundaries since 1984. sound as a means to activate primordial shared emotions otherwise hidden by civilised experience, and a catalyst for pursuing engagement, change, insinuating awareness, meaning, tuning senses and delivering some form of release, a release that is liberating & purifying, a polemical catharsis that opposes the omnipresent reduction of existence, a ritual that desires to cast aside artificial, material and superstitious arrangements and constraints and puts us in touch with our sentient origins as much as with realities of the times we live in. Dave Phillips has been sonically active for over 25 years, has appeared on more than 170 releases and has played near to 400 concerts in 37 countries. Born 1969 in switzerland, based in zürich.
