BRIDGE: An improv-based performance that runs around glitch, drone ambient music and sound scape sculpting with minimalistic visuals.
“im//perfect color”: Released exclusively on VHS and inspired by equal parts “New Wave Theatre” and Chris & Cosey’s “CTI Transmissions”, “im//perfect color” is the 4th full-length release from hiss & hum. Made using second-hand VCRs and obsolete (and often broken) video editors, the brittle, colorful, and slightly unstable visuals compliment the anxious melodies to make short abstract films that are, while immediately somewhat distressing, ultimately very calming and peaceful in their embrace of clutter, chaos, and color. Two pieces from the release will be screened, as well as a live performance of a new work in progress titled “an easy mind (can suffer through all feeling).”
