"In
Peter Strickland
's
Flux Gourmet
, a dysfunctional group of performance artists undertake a month-long residency at an institute devoted to culinary disciplines. Food is interrogated for its sonic potential as the group mic-up, amplify, distort and transform what they cook in front of an audience. The noise that the characters in the film itself make is driven by food blenders, overflowing cauldrons of gurgling soup and sizzling frying pans (courtesy of
The Sonic Catering Band
), yet the music that soundtracks the culinary capers is engorged with aching melodies and wordless, airy vocals. Contributors include
Cavern Of Anti-Matter
,
Jeremy Barnes
and
Heather Trost
of
A Hawk And A Hacksaw
and
Trost
's band,
Roj
(formerly of
Broadcast
), and
Nurse With Wound
.
Flux Gourmet
is presented in a lush double LP package with an ornate, colorful design and Strickland's detailed liner notes. Image, color, light and sound are integrated and heightened to delirious levels of hyperreality, much like Strickland's past works,
Berberian Sound Studio
and
In Fabric
.
Flux Gourmet
very much alludes to his past as a member of The Sonic Catering Band, which he founded back in 1996. The band split on several occasions and got back together to create new pieces for the soundtrack, concocting strange sonic morsels and treating recipes as if they were scores. The lines between what is on the screen and what is on the soundtrack are blurred, with the band (mostly) using the exact same equipment (which they loaned to the production) and recipes as in the film. However, for all the conceptual rigor on display, the music on the
Flux Gourmet
is ultimately in pursuit of catharsis, as one character concedes. The power of music and/or noise to purge and cleanse its makers (and hopefully, listeners) of their ills and woes."
