KILLED EMPATHY

DESERT DRONE LIVE SET

'Use And Abuse' is the latest release by Italian-born, Berlin-based noice harasser Desert Drone. Pulling from elements of harsh noise, hard techno and industrial, Desert Drone isn't content with respectfully adhering to well-trodden genre conventions, instead 'Use & Abuse' seeks to push those sounds further, mutating and contorting them, creating a truly ferocious, uninhibited noise. Volcanic, coruscating waves of blown out noise collide against torrents of thunderous, jackhammering rhythm, everything pushed beyond the limits into ecstatic filth. There's no subtlety or ambiguity about 'Use & Abuse', this is nothing short of a frenzied, beat-driven, sadistic noise assault that will leave the listener battered and blissfully delirious.

Desert Drone is primarily a live music project that has evolved over the years, driven by an intense fascination with dramatic and dark sounds within a nihilistic and distorted musical framework. The music is characterized by dragging rhythms and rugged bass lines that interweave into an intense fusion of harsh noise, raw techno, and inhuman screams. This sonic tapestry is further enriched with the infusion of eurorack synths and a drum machine.

In addition to his prowess in music, Desert Drone is a visual artist who captivates audiences through the utilization of videosynth machines, feedback loops, analog TV, and vintage gear powered with digital signals. The amalgamation of diverse tools and techniques results in the creation of multiple layers, forming a dynamic collage of noisy images and abstract movements of the subjects.

As the former Artistic Director and co-founder of Autonoma Industriale and the owner of Harsh Voices, Desert Drone is based in Berlin, contributing significantly to the vibrant artistic scene in the city.
