Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nica

Hallo
I am so pleased to tell you that my work Crystal Sounds of a Synchrotron has won the Golden Nica in Prix Ars Electronica for Digital Music and Sound Art. This is a great honor and something, which I have always wanted to achieve.
The work was published on 5.1 DVD by Diamond Light Source the UK's largest Synchrotron in October 2011.
Ars Electronica Press Release 
A synchrotron accelerates elementary particles to extremely high speed. One result of this is to produce a multifaceted, ever-changing cacophony. Jo Thomas concentrated on the injection of electrons. She captured and arranged micro-melodies that are as transient as the electron injections themselves. During this 38-minute work, the listener becomes completely absorbed, not least of all due to the 5.1. Sound that gets across the dry, almost sterile atmosphere with enormous compression.

writer Sam Davies

' a richly detailed soundworld in which the listener can explore with out feeling the over bearing structure of impressions or interpretation. Liberating her music and her listeners from the delimiting realm of the recognisable , both the vapourous spaces of Zero and the more ferrible clicks and pops of Charged have a distinct self sufficiency .... accidental alchemy producing unique bursts and flickers of timbre.

CD release date

The release date for my new solo CD with entr'acte nature of habit is set for the 21st of May, 2012 .
looking forward,
Jo
