Violence - Human Dust To Fertilize The Impotent Garden - Music & Performance - Cassette

Visual artist and multi-instrumentalist Olin Caprison composes and performs all aspects of the Violence project. Compositionally, each of the songs fearlessly disrupts any notions of genre division, creating a universe that is equal parts at-home in the realms of noise, rap, industrial, and the more extreme deviations of metal. Lyrically, Violence meditates on the oppressive nature of history, and explores ideas of archetypal memory and the stigmas which come with those memories. Caprison on the project: "My palette consists of the shattered micro-architecture of an unprejudiced, undiscerning, cosmopolitan, anti-culture massive music archive. A piece of this, a piece of that. The shattered remains of the 'genre', utilizing the mythopoeia behind each cultural movement to fight for meaning. This music is a struggle. It is a struggle from within this anti-history vacuum, a struggle against the all-embracing, multicultural, ahistorical ecosystem of contemporary music that renders all hierarchies impotent and null."
