DEEP GREY and MURMUR at Initial Shock II
DEEP GREY is a laced punchbowl of conspiracy theories, social media, comedy, horror, technology, cultural reference, science fiction and unhealthy obsession, strained through the same lens that for decades noise has used for it’s creation; here we are today, getting high on life. Can you afford it?
“More like a mirror we reflect society…” – Joe Roemer
MURMUR is a noise and experimental music project that has been operating since 2021. Using various sources and methods, the project has released solo and collaborative work on Absurd Exposition, White Centipede Noise, Buried in Slag and Debris, and Tribe Tapes, as well as self-releasing tapes and CDrs and a photo booklet.
