HARSH NOISE NIGHT

The Nausea | Primitive Isolation Tactics | Sleeping Police | Cathar Perfect The Nausea is an experimental violin project by Anju Singh – a media artist, composer, musician and sound artist with an interdisciplinary practice that infuses her composing and music work into video art, installation, sound sculpture, theatre, and film forms. She experiments with texture, dynamics, contrast, and articulation in her practice as a multi-instrumentalist, performer, visual artist, illustrator, sculptor, and instrument builder. Anju deconstructs and reanimates materials and plays with dynamics and boundary-stressing elements in her work. She also works as a curator and is the Director of independently organized festival Vancouver Noise Fest (12 editions). Montreal’s Primitive Isolation Tactics emerged in 2018 and burrows into the subconscious via rusted arteries of industrial noise, fracturing off into constricted microchannels of impacted debris and silt. Sensory vividness through a minimal approach. Since 2001, local artist Gabriel Piller has been using the moniker Sleeping Police to explore the extremes of aural expression, releasing numerous cassettes and CDs on his Knife in the Toaster label.
