"More murder and mayhem can be found on Gerome Nox's Blood-Red Poppies. Unlike Kickback, reviewed this month, who advocate a libertarian philosophy Blood-Red Poppies is concerned with the inherent personalities and motives. It unfolds to a series of taped dialogues, oppressive atmospheres, murderous effects and, some tired industrial thrash posturings. Blood-Red Poppies features some malevolent atmospheres reminiscent of Schloss Tegal so should appeal to death industrial lovers.

gerome nox (aka G-Nox)
Gerome Nox is a product of the Beaux Arts school. But he has been moving in a world of “cuttingedge” music since the early 1980s, the decade during which he founded the industrial music group, NOX.
These days, Nox’s work blends rhythms, electronic and electro-acoustic manipulations, and city
sounds and atmosphere. It is a body of work whose occasionally violent energy evokes the in-yourface
edginess of bustling urban life, creating soundscapes that are constantly evolving, and in which
power and excess alternate with minimalism and refinement. As one who considers sound more as
matter, and instruments as so many means for producing and shaping music, Nox is as much a visual
artist as a musician. It is in this perspective that, while not abandoning a traditional instrument such as
the electric guitar, he increasingly turned to electronic instruments – and especially computers – that
allowed him to treat the sound in terms of texture, density, volume, resistance and spatialisation.
Nox has collaborated on numerous new musical and audiovisual works, performances, and choreographic works. These diverse collaborations have led him to work with the following artists:
Cecile Babiole (multimedia artist), Laure Bonicel (choreographer), Alain Declercq (visual artist),
Christophe Fiat (sound poet), Emmanuelle Huynh (choreographer), P. Nicolas Ledoux (visual artist),
Claude Leveque (visual artist), Barbara Mavro Thalassitis (choreographer), Michèle Murray
(choreographer), Christian Rizzo (visual artist/choreographer), Kasper T. Toeplitz (musician/composer).
Nox has performed at the following venues and events: The House of World Cultures (Berlin), The
Cultural Centre of Belem (Lisbon), the Bratislava Dance Festival (Bratislava), the festival Musique
Action (CCAM Nancy/Vandoeuvre), the festival Nouvelles Scènes (Dijon), the Cartier Foundation
(Paris), The Georges Pompidou Centre (Paris), MACBA (Barcelona), Melkweg (Amsterdam), DANCE
(Munich), the Hebbel (Berlin), the Museion (Bolzano, Italy), etc.
