Because it  distracts from the fact that France Jobin is an otherwise accomplished  and talented multi-tasking sound and visual artist from Montreal whose  works have been installed and favourably received in myriad venues all  across North America and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>29 Palms is her sound portrait of the unique desert community Joshua  Tree in the Californian desert, and is an attractive addition to the  drone genre in its sophisticated mix of highs and lows. Like the desert  itself, a cursory glance can leave the listener unmoved, but screw up  the volume and prick up your ears coyote-like and you will hear that the  wind carries a multitude of sounds and signals to be decoded.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most successfully subtle recordings of the year deserves  thus not to be treated as ambient, background music, but requires  genuine focus to unveil its laden vastness.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Fruitman<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/sonomu.net\/text\/~i8u-29-palms-cdr\/\">Sonomu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 Palms, i8u on Dragon&#8217;s Eye Recordings The vanity licence-plate monicker France Jobin has chosen to work under is intended as a jab at arts-industry consumerism while also proclaiming that the performance of her art makes her audience aware of the process, the better to engage with it actively rather than allow it to &#8220;eat&#8221; &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/?p=3320\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Review \u2013 29 Palms (DER) 2010 \u2013 by Stephen Fruitman &#8211; sonomu&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[227],"tags":[543,177,544,545,178],"class_list":["post-3320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-29-palms","tag-dragons-eye-recordings","tag-sonomu","tag-stephen-fruitman","tag-yann-novak"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3320"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3322,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3320\/revisions\/3322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.francejobin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
