incite's blog

incite/, the Hamburg-based audiovisual electronics duo of Kera Nagel and André Aspelmeier. Mixing eye-catching experimental audiovisual art with dynamic distorted IDM grooves, the duo criss-crosses art and club worlds, creating intense experiences for ears and eyes. Fragmented electric junk, fragile bursts of static noise and extra-charged sub-bass-kicks join abstract monochromatic imagery. incite/ play seriously weird glitch and quasi-danceable grooves in synced conjunction with intense grayscale visuals. incite/ ´s audiovisual creations center quantum-physical references in everyday life. The distorted visuals are mostly unrecognizable, hiding the underlying stories - an exciting expedition for the audience.
