You might be familiar with Konx-om-Pax previous work without already being aware of it. His real name is Tom Scholefield, he’s from Glasgow and as a 3D film director and graphic artist he’s made videos for locals Hudson Mohawke and Mogwai as well as Martyn, Jamie Lidell, Kuedo and Lone, sleeve artwork for Oneohtrix Point Never, Rustie, King Midas Sound and others plus he has toured with Mogwai as a DJ.

So how on earth does he find the time to make music, or the energy?

Tom explains that he makes music to chill out, a form of creative self medication. In contrast to his bright, synthetic and colourful artwork and videos, his music is more mossy and analogue. Often beatless, personal and located in a transporting surrealism, it’s sometimes inspired by the idea of rescoring films and TV. ‘Glacier Mountain Descent’ for instance is a reimagining of the start of Werner Herzog’s ‘Aguirre’. Other times they’re inspired by nostalgia for childhood feelings; watery immersion is a running theme and a sense of Scottish surrealism is another.

Tom started out making tracks as a teen, copying the synth lines he’d heard on prog house CDs, before graduating to a deep fascination with Jeff Mills and Drexciya’s hermetic imagery and alien funk after hearing them on John Peel’s show. This led him to creating lo-fi techno, then DJing and promoting events at artschool, which developed his knowledge, driving him to formulate an aesthetic of unpolished, textured and emotive music.

‘Regional Surrealism’ works largely like a film. Vignettes like ‘Isotonic Pool’ transition into larger more dramatic pieces like the deep ‘At Home With Mum and Dad’ which takes an early Aphex sounding ambient track and fills it with odd drama. ‘Sura-Tura-Gnosi-Cosi’ featuring mysterious US artist Steven Retchard is full of tape-hiss and unsettling spoken word, while ‘Zang-Tumb’ with guitar played by Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite works in bruised and twisted Ash-Ra Tempel territory. Elsewhere ‘Slootering’ finds a sweet spot between Drexciya and Oneohtrix Point Never, while ‘Lagoon Leisure’ lets you get lost in musique concrete space and drops. Later on ‘Hurt Face’ rubs static and raw electronic textures together and ‘Chambers’ follows it up with a sunny glow. The album finishes on the water-themed ‘Let’s Go Swimming’ which indulges in a slow-motion nostalgia, sending you away happy.

Just over a week away from the release of Washington, DC-based tunesmith Martyn‘s highly anticipated sophomore album, Ghost People, here is its first music video, an animated piece for the beatless, hard-edged “Viper.” The surreal bit of CGI comes from director Konx-om-Pax, who presents the viewer with a colorful alien world that’s part2001, part Nickelodeon, and part early-’90s computer game. Keep your eyes peeled for Martyn’s Ghost People to arrive on October 10 via Brainfeeder.

Trevor Jackson (Output/Playgroup)
Konx-om-Pax (Display Copy)

On the 7th of Oct two like minded creative types join forces for an evening of danceable oddities and party classics. In a brand new underground space The Berkeley Suite (Right underneath Chinaski’s, Charing X)

Some collaborative video installations by Trevor Jackson and Konx-om-Pax will also be screened.

Redbull Music Academy -

“You’ll have a hard time finding a gospel that Trevor Jackson hasn’t spread. From designing now classic record sleeves for S-Express, Jungle Brothers or Todd Terry, doing artwork for Soulwax, setting up a record label called Output or being one of the most adroit DJs on the planet with an unquenchable thirst for records, Jackson did it all. Starting out caring and sharing UK hip hop with bands like The Brotherhood on his Bite It! platform, Jackson also remixed artists like U2 or Massive Attack’s Protection under his Underdog alias, gave ‘80s music a cosmetic surgery with his adored Playgroup project, and most of all turned Output into one of the most important labels ever to come out of Britain. Think ZE Records 2.0 and you are halfway there. With a catalogue of hundred releases from the likes of Four Tet, MU, Lopazz, The Rapture and LCD Soundsystem, Jackson merged the approach of dance music with the dynamics of indie bands. The effects seem to last forever. He is for real! ”

Boomkat Review –

“**Limited to 200 copies, includes handmade artwork and sound contributions from Laurel Halo and Mogwai** Ace 2nd album from Glasgow-based digital artist, Konx-Om-Pax, including cameo appearances from Laurel Halo and Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite (both of whom he’s previously designed sleeves for). Following the noise sculptures of last years ‘Optimo Sessions’, ‘Light In Extension’ – a reference to the mythical Egyptian etymology of his name – is a more varied and sublimely textured (yet occult-infused) collection of eight tracks in just over 25 minutes. It covers phantastical interzones between the epic choral drone wormhole of ‘Halo Ritual’ featuing HIT’s Laurel, to the glistening geomteric ice cap melodies of ’7th Dimension’, into the Hype Williams-esque vignettes ‘Chevy Chase Mega Looper’ and ‘Why Aren’t You Here’, to the intergalactic distress signals of ‘Room With A View’ and the dynamic Autechre-isms of ‘Total Protonic Reversal’. There’s really not a lot of albums around that can do that without sounding compromised but Konx-Om-Pax’s viscerally synaesthetic tones and textures are spellbinding to behold. Highly Recommended!”

OUT NOW – LIMITED 200 COPIES

1. I

2. II

3. III

4. III (No-Fun Acid Mix)

Produced by Konx-om-Pax, instruments on “Untitled I” by Vars of Lichi.

Remix by Carlos Giffoni

Pre-mastering by TVO, Mastering by Jamie Greer @ The Green Door Studio Glasgow

“Optimo Tracks” is the debut release on Konx-om-Pax’s new studio/label project – Display Copy. These pieces were written for an AV installation at the legendary Optimo Espacio club night in March 2009, providing the soundtrack to 3 hallucinatory animated shorts which were screened on a large video wall in the middle of the Sub Club dancefloor.

“I” is a collaborative effort with fellow Glasgow noiseheads Vars of Lichi, opening proceedings with a wall of heavily processed guitar feedback and over-compressed drumming, not unlike the sound of Chris Corsano and his complete kit being shoved down a stairwell in mid-set… The chaos finally dissolves into a murderous juggernaut of a metal riff that Melvins fans could easily and joyfully immerse themselves in…

“II” provides immediate light relief from the opening assault, with 210 seconds of Detroit machine ambience - reminiscent of Jeff Mills’ soundtrack to Metropolis – and a sub-bass drone mutating into rising pads that brighten into an unexpectedly lush, ethereal soundscape.

“III” is a no holds barred sonic attack, with analogue noise processed through a number of granular applications. This piece also gets the remix treatment from No-Fun label boss

Carlos Giffoni under his “No-Fun Acid” guise. Carlos impregnates an already seething original with a frothing acid line from his MS-20 and distorts the abrasive industrial morass to inaudible levels.”

Boomkat Review (Single of the Week Sep 2010) -

“Acclaimed visual artist Konx-Om-Pax presents an absolutely amazing first release from his Display Copy label, including a No Fun Acid remix by Carlos Giffoni. Konx-Om-Pax is one of those enviably hyper-active characters, equally adept at creating dazzling artwork for sleeves like Oneohtrix Point Never’s ‘Rifts’ comp and a number of Rustie releases, as well as art direction for videos from Jamie Lidell and Hudson Mohawke, collaborations with Mogwai and even a series of seriously heavyweight mixtapes. For this release we’re dealing with his sonic persona, presenting three extended tracks roving between Swans-strength bludgeoning on ‘I’, onto close, clammy, digital drone shapes on ‘II’ with shades of Coil or Autechre at their most sullen. The longest, and most impressive, is ‘III’, displaying a hyper-aware aesthetic blending Hecker-esque digital spasms with lysergic noise squalls and cavernous electro-acoustic dynamics crossing the disciplines of Bernard Parmegiani and Keiichiro Shibuya in a head-frazzling fashion. With such visceral material to work with Caros Giffoni ends the set with a compelling remix, feeding the source material through his mazy No Fun Acid matrix to splay him into an anxious blur of squirming sinewaves and organically evolving noisescapes. In other words, this is really really REALLY good, and completely f**ked sideways. Comes in limited, hand numbered (200 copies) and printed artwork, a free sticker, and our noisiest recommendation to fans of the Mego or No Fun Productions camps. Don’t miss.”

“If you don’t know about Konx-0m-Pax’s home label Display Copy, you should. Some of the most discerning and personal spots for mixtape, video and print indulgence since, well, here. But like, if you thought we were weird, you should fuck with Tom. He’s the twisted mind behind sleeves and videos for all our friends and he’s one of the moodiest friendliest people we know. We got made love for Tom. This is a funny tape though. It’s like he’s gone aw fuckit, ill dj like those normal djs for once! like he’s been twitching to put more krautrock spanners in the works the entire time. What he accidentally did here is make an excellent summary of some of Summers hits, but where it gets really good is where he can’t help himself- fucks us up”

Jamie Lidell – Yougotmeup (Warp Records) Directed by Konx-om-Pax

Yougotmeup is a rotoscoped animation by Konx-om-Pax. Over a 6 month period
all 2770 frames were traced by hand over original footage of Jamie singing.
The video’s style was inspired by early hand made 80′s pop promo’s and re-runs
of Rubarb and Custard cartoons…

The video was recently featured in specialten magazine alongside work by
Jonathon Glazier and an interview with Joze Gonzalez. “Yougotmeup” was
screeed at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood as part of Resfest, alongside
work by swedish filmaker Jonas Odell
