Artist Statement:

Using a variety of tools, uniformed figures destroy a car, live-generating a variety of audio and video samples, rhythms, timbres, envelopes, frequencies, and imagery. The raw sonic and visual materials are live-streamed from performer– and car–mounted cameras and microphones to mediating composers for processing and remixing, then reintegrated into the performance space. The simultaneous destruction and reconstruction create a singular composition.
