Philippe Laurent is a French plastic artist, musician and designer. Whether working with graphic codes or digital codes, plastic arts or music, Laurent’s approach is one of research, specifically having to do with people’s perception of signs and symbols. As a multi-media artist, he has always been open to new technologies, whether he is composing musical works or creating graphic works.
Philippe Laurent comes from a long personal study of the shapes of early symbols and letters which leads to the sublime nature of an esoteric alphabet.
Hot-Bip is a pseudonym that Laurent used throughout the 80s and 90s, and also the title of his 1983 cassette on Fraction Studio, re-released a few years ago on Minimal Wave. He recently released a new EP on Peripheral Minimal and one with Xeno And Oaklander, out on Girouette Records.
His 'Mithra AutomAttic mix' features only track of himself, plus a new version of "Mithra" special for this mix.
