Artists Performing:
Pablo Perez
I am in a deteriorating relationship with control, perfection and validation. This work honors the gravitational pull to errors, noise, nonsense, and the creation-destruction lifecycle. It is an exercise in contradiction. It is a document of me succeeding at my own failures and insecurities. It is the new beauty. It is I and I is it.

Sometimes we receive information from non-physical spaces and energy. Most of the time however these messages are not perceived in their entirety, or with true clarity; this leads to the creation of multiple paths. Do we follow the path, or create it? I’m utilizing preserved sound artifacts as well as granulation, time dilation, and patterned waveforming to imbue the listener with extrasensory perception.
