torpor

Live in the studio at 3pm – a live tele-performance by gravemere. This performance blends live environmental sounds from Locus Sonus’ open microphone network with time-stretched samples from past live transmissions. torpor explores themes of separation, grief, and the ache of being detached from the organic, real, and physical world, creating an ephemeral practice suspended in time.
