Performing together since 2001, Potter-Belmar Labs is one part new media art, one part DJ and VJ performance, and one part experimental cinema.
The duo carries the audience through an improvised collage experience in sound and image. They build as they go, weaving field recordings with threads sampled from pop culture and their own rich sound and image compositions. From deeply ambient textures to moments of turbulence, concrete imagery gives way to abstraction, and themes emerge and recede. The results may recall a vivid dream, a visual symphony, or an abstract opera. |
