A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
How do you know what you want? Should freedom be doing what you ought, not doing what you want? How might a philosopher and artist turn this thinking into an enabling condition in the context of noise and improvisation?

“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
Inspired by Delany’s Aye, and Gomorra. A spookily filmic world where asexual bodies live in the contradiction of their unarousable loneliness and desire for intimacy and contact.

An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
