She joined forces with visual artists Louise Linsenbolz and Thomas Wagensommerer, alias TE-R for this music video. In their post-digital interpretation of the ‘Oceanic Feeling’ at the interface of our seemingly boundless physicality as liquefied subjects in cyberspace, Yuzu explores dissonances and resonances within the heterogeneous matters of the ‘real’ and ‘virtual’. Synthesizing influences from digital cultures (from William Gibson’s “Neuromancer” to the Yahoo! yodel jingle) and traditional instrumentation (clarinet and Kaba gaida), she establishes cross connections between everyday experiences, folklore and the transcended mind in a digital ether. http://www.czirpczirp.cc/?page_id=2627 Genre Trance
