Vomir's Manifesto
Harsh Noise Wall artist Vomir, aka Romain Perrot, practices negation. He creates white noise slabs that death-crawl into your ears. Listen to a Vomir composition long enough & your mind enters a blank space.
Vomir's love of negation extends to his performance mode. For each set, he encases his head in a black garbage bag, trying to erase himself from the sounds emanating from his machinery.
I'm interested in Vomir's continued insistence that aesthetics & art will not save us. It's due to this that I feel he's one of the few artists worth listening to in 2020.
The following manifesto comes from a recent release:
