ARIADNE is as fluid as melted metal — an ever-morphing experiment of real-time 3D animation, hardware, software, circuits, and synthesis. And the latest thing to crawl out of the duo’s laboratory is the convulsing video for “grief divine,” off their upcoming interactive audio/visual web-based experience, Stabat Mater.
“grief divine,” like much of the duo’s past work, violently forces itself into existence through a cacophony of metallic rises and organic movements, bubbling upward and outward, likely to give the listener something akin to motion sickness. Noir flubber dances in the midst of the void, post-future dystopia (or maybe utopia?) that ARIADNE occupies. Hypnotizing, enticing, alluring, yet frightening, it’s a synthetic hand offering to let you in.
Take it.
Stabat Mater (“Sorrowful Mother” in Latin), to be released by Auris Apothecary, is a 20-movement cycle of audio/visual ecstatic visions, due out October 27 on cassette and as a 3D web-based interactive experience (woah). Pre-order it here.
