The dry mistral wind billows the washing that hangs outside the windows on narrow streets, bringing with it the first whispers of autumn. In the distance children are playing in the square, their shouts caught in the dust whipped up by their feet. A bell tolls, the light dies, and a rich, compelling solitude descends.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eViolinist and multi-instrumentalist Fohn, aka Tom Connolly, describes the act of making music as “building fictional environments that become places of solace,” and a process of translation and projection that bridges his internal and external worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile musicians like John Also Bennett, Oren Ambarchi and Connolly’s own group Quade drift behind his sound, \u003cem\u003ePorcelain\u003c\/em\u003e draws its temperamental inspiration from films like Call Be My Your Name and Andrei Tarkovsky’s The Mirror, as well as the sculptures of Anthony Gormley, whose solitary figures stand isolated in expanses of water along the UK coastline.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHow does Connolly describe the atmosphere he wants the music to evoke? “It's the feeling of the inevitability of something having to pass,” he answers. “It's compelling because it's fundamentally unattainable.
