xfBLH (or Xi Fang Bai Lao Hu or Bailaohu) is a European sound from East Asia and an ongoing experiment in creating rhythms from the audio scrap of civilization.
xfBLH is a noise project in Guangzhou, PRC.
I like to fool around with sequencers/samplers and organize pretty much any sound I deem suitable in a rhythm. Generally, the resulting sound is industrialoid/dark-technoid in nature, but I'm especially in love with short wave static/interference/noise bursts/QRM's and the like. In addition, future releases will experiment with Chinese/Mongolian influences and try to blend these with existing 'dark electro' motifs and patterns.
Although I favor minimalism, rhythms can be complex and at at times deceptive, at first lulling listeners into a false sense of things being predictable and then kicking their ass. The occasional allusion to totalitarian/insanity-related themes is inherited from the industrial music around 2K, in which I was heavily immersed.
It would be good not if xfBLH became popular, but if it somehow managed to continue elements from the original powernoise/industrial tradition of creating deeply disturbed rhythms, indigestible by the mainstream.
Possibly xfBLH will comprise photography as well, e.g. to combine 'dark' sound with similar visuals, but as of yet this is in alfa stage.
