The H – On Organization

Working from a series of interconnected photos, diagrams, and charts, On Organization is an audio-visual piece inspired by Montreal photographer Madison Dinelle and set to music by fellow locals, Jesse Osborne-Lanthier of Femminielli Noir and Francesco De Gallo of Hobo Cubes, recording together as The H. Subtitled a “study of form in pictures in music,” the designs and multimedia element are presaged to some extent in Osborne-Lanthier’s solo work, though the accompanying material was assembled by Dinelle with the help of designer Xavier Coulombe-Murray. De Gallo may already be top-of-the-mind for some of our readers thanks to his prolific solo output and fascinating collaborations, like his recent Arrows project with Remi Boudrias-Dussault of Velvet Gracier, which has thus far yielded a stellar debut for Digitalis, projects like these emphasize not only the pace of his creation, but the collaborative creative atmosphere that seems so well engendered in Montreal. Between the two experimentalists involved, On Organization‘s audio accompaniment becomes an enigmatic and some times tense meditation on a succession of relationships. Each track is titled to expand on the theme; “Duality,” “Plurality,” “Balance,” “Chaos,” and “Unity,” with charts and images nearby to extend The H’s musical thought into the framework of Dinelle’s vision. Look for the official release on Los Discos Enfantasmes next month, though preorders are available now via The H’s Bandcamp.
