In the Red

Andrew Hendriks and Tina Newlove fluidly deliver a multi-layered visual and sound experience under the name In the Red, as they fuse ambient sound and visual art.

Andrew Hendriks has developed a unique fusion of minimal dub techno, Detroit house and more experimental ambient textures. This is electronic music that is anything but cold and austere – it pulses with life, infused with a sense of playfulness and adventure.

During the live set Newlove works to record and paint a direct expression of the music using layers of organic washes and heavy mark-making. Abstract figures and buildings are carefully constructed and then deconstructed as Newlove captures thoughts of man and machine, war, the division of classes and the struggle for freedom in concert with Hendriks’ approach in layering complex sound samples.
 

    In contrast to corporate mainstream media, Tina and Andrew convey the patterns and sounds of everyday life…the weave in the fan, the stitching in the organ, the steady chug of the dishwasher, flowers from the market, life cycles, death cycles, wash cycles… recording the beautiful, the delicate, the detailed, the organic and the non-violent. Both draw from their own experience with despair, violence, the poor and the war-torn as they experiment with the interconnection of life, music and art interconnect.
