Conceived as an audiovisual installation and first performed in 2005, Thermidor is an experimental ambient project created by J., an artist based in Libson, Portugal. Though primarily involved in visual art such as freehand drawing, architecture, and illustration, J. engages in music as a side project, composing pieces for experimental video installations. In 2007, J. released 1929, a limited-edition enhanced CD containing music from Thermidor, as well as remixes and a video for one of the pieces, "Obituarium." ~ Katherine Fulton
