Toxic City Music - Evan Caminiti & Paul Clipson at ISSUE Project Room Synopsis

Inspired by the “psychic and physical toxicity of life in late capitalism,” Evan Caminiti’s Toxic City Music utilizes sounds sourced from daily life in NYC. These found sounds are heavily processed and woven into instrumentation ranging from electronically treated guitar to modular synthesizers. Toxic City Music evolved over the course of several years, resulting in a wealth of material which will be re-processed and uniquely presented in an improvisatory manner in live performance. The Wire describes the new work as "The sound of things falling apart with unbearable slowness…[with Caminiti] reporting his observations with acuity, integrity, and artfulness."

Toxic City Music - Evan Caminiti & Paul Clipson at ISSUE Project Room (2017) is a film directed by Paul Clipson, released on October 20, 2017 with a runtime of 9m.
