DIE FORM / ExHuman
-- [ READ MORE ] -- ExHuman - second volet du diptyque InHuman/ExHuman -, expose l'autre face de DIE FORM où les sons et la thématique sont davantage orientés vers l'abstraction, l'électronique et la géométrie. Toujours à la recherche de nouvelles expérimentations, les voix ont fait l'objet d'hybridations et les sonorités futuristes ont été mixées avec des sons analogiques traditionnels. Trois nouveaux...

The Visionary Garden 2 book...
-- [ READ MORE ] -- La photographie est cette aptitude à suspendre le flux assassin du temps. Plus que toute autre expression de l’art, cette captivité d’une lumière signifiante rend compte de l’obsessionnelle vanité de l’homme qui prétend saisir la vérité de l’instant et l’instant lui-même. Ce « coin de la création vu à travers un tempérament »1 est sublimé par l’intelligence de l’œil qui ne cherche pas...
|
DIE FORM / InHuman
-- [ READ MORE ] -- InHuman, first volet of a diptych which will be completed by ExHuman, marks an evolution, but also a renewal as far as tools, technique and composition are concerned. Éliane's vocals hold a preponderant place as revealer of emotions, contrasting with the dark universe of images, the cruelty of some texts and the para-mechanical option of the electronic music.
Among other things, it is...
|
About InHuman...
-- [ READ MORE ] -- “Art can only arise from a consensual face to face between love and death. This human basic fear of divine union urges Man into a self study. He’s forced to stay aware of his tragic fate and transcend the rotting of the flesh, which reminds him inexorably of his doom.
InHuman is this deeper and deeper search of the mysterious ways of our mind, the foreseeing picture of our connection to the...

DIE FORM / Extremum/XX
-- [ READ MORE ] -- After 3 years of research, this new project marking a rupture with "Duality" and the previous albums, wants to be a reflection on the absurd, the madness, the excessiveness.
It is also about a look on the past century, the real and the unreal, the manipulations, the barbarity and the (de)construction of the body.
Extremum represents a sound peak, a mathematical extreme, while XX could be,...
|
DIE FORM / Duality
-- [ READ MORE ] -- Die Form have been making their own distinctively unsettling brand of dark electronic music for nearly two decades. Comprised of synthesist/vocalist Philippe Fichot and vocalist Eliane P, Die Form's approach to electronic music is stark, sensual, and strikingly beautiful - filled with operatic overtones, classical textures, tribalism, and the type of sensual imagery that is normally kept hidden...
|
DIE FORM / Corpus Delicti
-- [ READ MORE ] -- Perverse and subversive images, sado-masochist fascination of sexuality and death... Die Form exhibits the esthetic outrage oscillating on the boundary of interdicts.
Hopefully Die Form mastermind Philippe Fichot changed their style more and more to the sound of danceable hardcore techno. There are brilliant new versions of "Slave Sex" and "Teufel im Leibe". Both tracks appear originally on a...

About Photogrammes...
-- [ READ MORE ] -- L’expérience volontaire de la douleur est intrinsèquement humaine. Elle naît de la clairvoyance tragique et désespérée de l’homme qui admet la réalité manifeste de la mort. Il ne s’agit plus de feindre cette destinée que l’on réserve aux autres. Feinte ou vérité instinctive que l’homme pose d’emblée comme postulat : dès lors que la mort sera, nous ne serons plus. Pourquoi craindre alors ce à quoi...

PHILIPPE FICHOT / Photographer Biography
-- [ READ MORE ] -- Philippe Fichot is the creator of Die Form, and has been a photographer for more than 15 years. His work is almost always in black & white, described as being, "an exploration of the subconscious of eroticism and of the dark poetry of the human body." An artist whose work continually seeks to expose the ultimate beauty, Philippe Fichot has mastered the use of light and shade, as well as darkroom...

Die Form / InHuman
-- [ READ MORE ] -- Interview Side-Line / Steve Landau - 2004/02/11
1) The title of the new album, "InHuman," seems to have a double meaning: "not human" or "no longer human" as well as "the essence of humanity." And the cover art features a skeleton making love to a woman. Can you tell us a bit more about the existential themes behind the album?
J’ai pensé à la signification double du mot, à la fois inhumain...

DIE FORM / Duality
-- [ READ MORE ] -- S/GG: Philippe, nearly 20 years of DIE FORM. Have you reached your aims?
PHILIPPE: The important thing for me, after these many years of work, is to go always further in the reflection and exploration of human mechanisms, beyond appearances. I try to find constantly new evolutions as worked as possible, out of movements and fashions. Every day we are learning new things and unceasingly we have...

DIE FORM / Duality
-- [ READ MORE ] -- ZILLO: After your long time collaboration with Hyperium you changed the label now. What were the reasons for that?
PHILIPPE: We were in an important period with the recording of DUALITY, and wanted to find better partners. As we were not satisfied with HYPERIUM, we have chosen a new label.
ZILLO: You entitled your new work „Duality". What do you want to express with that - the duality of...

DIE FORM / L'âme électrique (German)
-- [ READ MORE ] -- EROTIK, SEX und SADOMASOCHISMUS werden bei DIE FORM (Philippe Fichot und Elaine P.) schon seit einigen Jahren groß geschrieben und sowohl musikalisch, als auch bei Live-Auftritten entsprechend dargeboten. i Kaum eine andere Band ist in der Eleetro- oder Latex-Szene bisher so l erfolgreich gewesen. Alben wie "Confessions" oder Hits wie "Bite OfGod", "Slavesex" oder "Savage Logic" dürften...

DIE FORM / Suspiria de Profundis
-- [ READ MORE ] -- Originating way back in the early Eighties. Philippe Fichot's Die Form project overtly brought the issue of sex into music. The use of extreme graphics, often using his partner Eliane in the role of agent provocateur, brings forth all the images of inspiration from the likes of De Sade, Lautrearnont and Bataille. The music itself falls onto many levels, both signaling commercial electronic...

ANCIENT FEARS AND MODERN INSTRUMENTS OF TORTURE
-- [ READ MORE ] -- The morbid electronical music of DIE FORM has won a fan audience in scene circles, particularly in Germany and Japan. The man behind this brand name is the Frenchman Philippe Fichot. In parallel with his musical oeuvre Fichot has created
a photographic one consisting not only of videos conceived as visual supplements for his music, but also of traditional black-and-white photographs.

IL ROVETO Poesie - Book cover -

by Erminia Passannanti
Book cover photo : Philippe Fichot / Die Form
A ragion veduta, poiché alcuni moventi profondi della scrittura dell’autrice, ben presenti anche ne Il Roveto, sembrano appartenere ad una zona di confine tra realtà e immaginazione, inconscio e ragione, in cui l’io si fa teatro di apparizioni e sottrazioni governate da una “logica fantastica” (così Guido...
