K.M. Toepfer and Amarior at Initial Shock III

KARL MICHAEL TOEPFER is a sound art and noise performer inspired by intrapersonal and interpersonal communication, social cognition and sensory perception processing, and intuition. KARL MICHAEL TOEPFER’s creative process involves hardware and software sound synthesis and processing, misappropriation of non-sound producing circuits as sound or sound-control sources, initiation and exploitation of feedback systems, and re-contextualization of pre-recorded sounds into abstract, visceral collages and auditory events.

“funeral dirges for a burning world.” amarior (members of jetsam, pamphleteer, and alsarath) uses transverse flute to build and deconstruct drones and ambient soundscapes, sometimes incorporating spoken word or vocal elements.
