One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.

Part old-fashioned Renaissance man, part hardcore avant-gardist, the Canadian painter-photographer-filmmaker-musician gives full vent to his genius in the exhilarating perceptual vaudeville, named after the ‘central region’ of tissue that acts as a conduit between the brain’s two hemispheres.

Music is full of refracted brass and wind tones, distorted tape loops, dead silent air and the occasional piercing shard of sound.
