Live @ LOW END | MV Carbon

FREE admission.

MV Carbon is a multidisciplinary artist focusing on media manipulation, sonic feedback, sound morphology, and the transformative interrelationship between sound, image, space, and place. Carbon's music unravels lucid abstractions, weaving dreams into tangibility. Electric cello, voice, magnetic tape, field recordings, oscillators, and synthesizers form alluring and unsettling sonic experiences. Sculptural objects function as musical instruments, amplifying the ritual, rhythm, and momentum embedded in music. Carbon taps into the mystery of the human mechanism, exploring themes such as interchangeability, regeneration, and the transmogrification of mind and matter. Carbon interprets sound as a living organism which has the ability to heighten our senses.
