Disintegration
Northwestern University’s WNUR is back with their Sonic Celluloid event here at Elastic Arts! The night explores all reaches of sound and video collaborations. Tonight we’ll lean heavily into punk, industrial, and ‘cold’ electronic music with Cleveland’s Disintegration and Chicago’s Blood Club, Bussy Kween Power Trip, and Mukqs. Canadian artist Cineplosion will be providing experimental video throughout the night. Join us!
Artist Bios
Blood Club are a Chicago electro post-punk trio.
DISINTEGRATION is a new three piece Experimental Post-Punk band from Cleveland, OH featuring members of Pleasure Leftists, Profligate and Cloud Nothings. Their sound is an inspired mix of Arab on Radar, 80’s era Chrome and Tears for Fears. Their first 12” EP is out on Feel It Records in March 2023.
Bussy Kween Power Trip is a black queer punk band where no guitars is no problem. Instead, the drums and bass hit you like a sledgehammer while effected vocals yelp and shriek proclaiming "I am ready to die at Crackle Barrel". Bouncing from dance punk to post hardcore to noise rock, all tunes are written with one question: What's the grimiest thing that can happen next?
Hausu Mountain co-founder Max Allison records under the name Mukqs. He twists elements of noise, techno, video game music, and free-for-all sample collage into rapidly shifting productions united under the banner of his strictly live, hardware-focused practice. Allison performs in ensembles including the free music trio Good Willsmith, the "modern classic rock band" BBsitters Club, and the duo Pepper Mill Rondo along with Hausu Mountain co-founder Doug Kaplan - in addition to a number of improvised collaborations with friends in the Chicago area.
CINEPLOSION is a live visual experience combining celluloid film with analog video synthesis. The performance is created in collaboration with musicians or sound artists, mutating and adapting in real-time to the direction and style of the sound and energy of the room. Based in Hot Spring National Park, Arkansas, and in existence since 2001."
