Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Nysa represents a compendium of turbulence and singularities. The sound for drunken states on mythic mountains. A studio reshaping of several live performances with custom computer programs, gestural input devices, and circuit-bent electronics. It was assembled throughout 2006 in Providence and mixes human aktions with the performance systems: Needles(s), High, Maenads, and Augur. Each system utilizes a physical approach for exploring the hidden and creating the esoteric with digital audio. Hands move and draw across circuits and codecs. Oscillating cryptographs emerge as sonic divinations, interpreted by an ecstatic body. Interference reveals noise beneath noise."-Utech
