MOTET - Audio-visual project (with Þorsteinn Eyfjörð)
A live audio-visual performance / band, together with sound artist Þorsteinn Eyfjörð Þórarinsson.
Þorsteinn and I started MOTET with the idea of producing audio-visual work in the same way a band produces music, with both elements being influenced by each other, produced and then performed simultaneously.
As a live act, we perform together as live as possible, with everything running real-time and being controlled by actual fingers on controllers as much as humanly possible (although sometimes I run out of fingers).
We make pieces that are at times aggressive and dystopic, but at the same time with a note of hope, and sometimes beautiful, with a note of despair. We're inspired by literature, nature, late-night YouTube rabbitholes, and the artists that have shaped our audio-visual sensibilities over the years.
Our first EP is being released via our good friends at INNI Music.
