about

Steve Markowsky was the metal percussionist for Phÿcus from about 1996 until the end of the band in 2000 and co-founder of the project Vermiform Front. He also brought turntable loops as a component in Phÿcus’ sonic arsenal.

The loops were created by putting a record on the turntable, usually at 16RPM, and then a smaller record on top of the first one. When the needle hit the edge of the smaller record, it would loop on the larger record. There loops could be adjusted by rotating the smaller record, and further manipulated by adding effects.

These loops were recorded by Steve Markowsky at his studio on Ste-Catherine St., Montreal, January 2000.

about

Phÿcus Montreal, Québec

Phÿcus was a Canadian industrial / experimental band that existed from 1988 to 2000. Phÿcus transformed from the traditional band format into a network that included over 50 contributors in a dozen locales, with Montreal as its centre of operations. Phÿcus' success was minimal, but their output was prodigious. Now in 2020, Phÿcus is back with a new release, "CrowleyWood". ... more
