As a duo, we work at an intersection of material and ephemeral, acoustic and electronic, order and chaos.
Many of our projects spring out of ongoing research on the subject of the Anthropocene, with its by-products and materiality presented through junk, abjected matter, abandoned pieces, and found objects.
We contrive distinct sonic spaces using esoteric, and odd musical instruments, feedback systems, as well as unaltered found sounds. These elements become descriptive of the new paradigm on micro and macro levels.
By addressing the objects of man-made production in combination with the modes in which these objects are produced, inhabited, and used, we hope to re-interpret the relationship between humans and nature.
We are doing this through fragmented multi-sensory experiences, improvisation, and immersive media projects that occupy both digital and physical spaces and bring in a set of alternative frames for addressing contemporary reality in artistic research.
