For over a decade, Orphx has been creating a unique fusion of electro-acoustic
experimentation and propulsive dance music. Using an assortment of synthesizers,
samplers, feedback systems, and various homemade instruments, Orphx combines
the experimental aesthetics of early industrial music with the hypnotic pulse
of techno, electro and dub.
Orphx began in 1993 in Dundas, Canada, as a trio consisting of Rich Oddie, Aron
West and Christina Sealey. Oddie and West created the Xcreteria label to release
the music of Orphx, drone side-project Antiform and related groups. West left in
1995 to pursue noise project Tropism with collaborator Johnny Dark and Orphx
has since become the studio project of Rich Oddie, often working in collaboration
with Christina Sealey on recordings and live performances.
Orphx has gained a substantial international following as part of the “rhythm noise”
scene associated with European record labels such as Hands, Ant-Zen, Hymen, Ad
Noiseam and Zhark. Oddie and Sealey have performed in numerous countries
around the world, combining live audio with original video compositions that
explore themes of social/psychological conflict, power and resistance. Each
release has explored these themes from different angles and with different
approaches to sound, ranging from minimalist soundscapes to
relentless rhythm and noise.
