Now here was I imagining that twas Beaumont Hannant wot invented the word "texturology", which I nicked for Energy Flash
But no!
Enlightenment comes, appropriately enough, from David Toop (via a Facebook post)
It was Jean Dubuffet, back in the late '50s
"Dubuffet invented various techniques to portray soil in a series of paintings called ‘Texturologies’. For this work [The Exemplary Life of the Soil (Texturology LXIII) 1958 - above], he adapted the ‘Tyrolean’ technique, used by stone masons to texture newly plastered walls. Dubuffet shook a brush over the painting, which was laid on the floor, to scatter tiny droplets of paint across the surface. His intention was to give an ‘impression of teeming matter, alive and sparkling, which I could use to represent soil, but which could also evoke all kinds of indeterminate textures, and even galaxies and nebulae’." - The Tate
Not part of the Texturology series but called "Brutal Beauty" - a title which again sounds techno but this time more punisher-beatz hardcore Orbit / Final Frontier vibes - or gabber-esque - or a bit Perc
"Spinning Round"
more Beaumont including one from the Tastes and Textures EP
