More information about Visceral Realism
The second performance of modern Visceral Realism occurred September 2nd, 2023 at Wonderville, an indie arcade gallery and bar in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. Performing Visceral Realists were Andy Borsz and Zona Zanjeros. Both used Tidal Cycles and in addition Borsz used Pure Data and the open source sythesis library Automatonism. The pair were joined somewhat at the last minute by Jessica Garson on visuals, programming in hydra and using a webcam and a projector (a different visualist declined to participate with a "noise band", so Garson stepped in).
