“Everything is… distorted” – Bekah Simms
from Appearances by Aventa Ensemble
about
“In the 2016 work, Everything is…distorted, the immediate experience of the world, its perceptible pleasure has been totally exhausted to the extent that by now everything is filtered, mediated, distorted by technology … Romitelli insisted that art could not resist technological violence other than through a response that was even more violent and artificial.” – Bekah Simms

Hailing from St. John’s, Newfoundland, Bekah Simms has been heralded as “cacophonous, jarring, oppressive — and totally engrossing!” (CBC Music). Propelled equally by fascination and terror toward the universe, her work is often filtered through the personal lens of her anxiety, resulting in nervous, messy, and frequently heavy musical landscapes.

I don't need every Kronos performance to be one that shakes me to my essence, but I do always want them to be interesting. Kronos has been my gateway to discovering a lot of composers I never knew of before, so this one is worth checking out.
