Sometimes Jasmine
London based sound, noise & performance artist Sometimes Jasmine chops and twists together layers of sound, combining voice and cello with London field recordings and cultural broadcasts, from 50s B movies samples to radio broadcasts, mixing the harmonious with the discordant and the rotten with the bliss to conjure a deliciously deranged sonic stew, best ingested in a dark room at high volume.
Rotten bliss challenges the traditionally sedentary and non-visual aspect of laptop music with a unique and synesthesic experience driven by an audio interface controlled with light and movement and accompanied by projected images augmented by the same forces controlling the sound.
Rotten bliss puts the body at the heart of the machine with limbs and gestures replacing knobs and sliders, subverting the cold precision of digital processing by opening up the machine to the erratic imprecisions of the human body, fusing together chance, magic and technology to create a show which is part ritual, part performance and part expo of the future.
Recent highlights have included a three week sound and video installation in the National Theatre’s Green Room Bar in Feb / March 2013 and a cello & live electronics performance for the release party for International Arts Periodical Soldes Alamanach at Point Ephémère in Paris, 2012.
