Shh.. Camille’ is the debut release by young East London duo Nos Phillipé (Jonathan Webb and Robert Hopps). Nos Phillipé have been improvising and experimenting with sound since 2004 with only a self-titled limited edition CD-R to show for their efforts to date. This release marks the group’s first real solid sonic statement. ‘Shh.. Camille’ begins by taking the listener through a maze of murky brooding sub-base rumblings and detailed textures before settling at what could be described as the second phase of the piece, in which layers of dense drones begin to merge with abrasive tones to conjure a visceral and claustrophobic sound environment. Utilising only primitive audio cleaning software, Nos Phillipé process field recordings to create rich and intense sound structures onto which they then apply their electro-acoustic improvisations. These sounds are primarily generated by electric guitar, viola, turn table, ebow, FX pedals, found objects and processed field recordings. The group’s name was inspired by an eccentric acquaintance of Hopps and Webb. An individual who bares uncanny facial similarities to both the Hollywood actor Ryan Phillippe and Nosferatu Phantom der Nacht

Recorded in Hackney, London on September 4, 2007
