Utilizing chopped and manipulated audio, computer graphics, and video, ‘Separator’ is a 42-minute piece broken down into fifteen continuous movements of audio-visual interplay. The artists' intention is to realize a fragmented environment that moves between moments of extreme dissonance and harmony. ‘Separator’ heavily utilizes Internet-ripped video and audio content and is inspired by cyber-punk aesthetics.

‘Separator’ is intended to be experienced as a quad multi-channel sound piece with single source projection, but can be adapted to work for a variety of performance or gallery settings.
