C.J. Reaven Borosque HarshNoise CD Release performance of "They"
also featuring Stimbox, Leporidae, Elise Baldwin, Jake Rodriguez

"This latest dollop of ahem, harsh noise from the relentless Harsh Noise label is quite the sleeper. CJ Borosque has the ring of a European trucker's CB handle and the string art mules gracing the cover make me think of black light paintings and down tempo world beat music. Luckily no obvious maracas make an appearance here, nope. Just complexion clearing blasts of cruel and crispy just like I ordered." - moron, industrial.org

various forms of performance and music synthesis, with

rounded out with facial interpretations and physical
gesture...
