silent green Open Lab #6: Gregory Pearce + gega.fisk

Gregory Pearce

Gregory Pearce is an experimental musician from Aotearoa (New Zealand), based in Berlin. His work blends improvisation, guitar, scrapbook-style sampling and minimalist songwriting to build abstract, intimate recordings and live shows. His most recent release Blue Listexplores a process of capturing and accentuating the raw qualities of acoustic sounds, repurposing them into abstract compositions.

gega.fisk

gega.fisk means wrong in Eritrean and fish in Swedish. Its meaning encapsulates the feeling of being an outsider, misplaced in your own environment. It is also the individual names of gega and fisk, who together share their personal experiences as manifestations of their own reality, translated through music and socio-critical poetry. It delivers an illicit message of trauma, rage and healing and a comment on the daily struggles they face. Relinquishing the freedom of shredding sonic arbitrary, their bass driven sounds encapsulate emotional journeys through odd soundscapes and irregular beats.

fisk is a genre-fluid DJ, promoter, sound engineer and artist navigating club and bass music for almost a decade. Working with self-recorded samples, she chops, processes and re-samples her material into textured, low-end-driven constructions. fisk’s practice moves between exhibition and stage, merging activism and artistic expression, rooted in the DIY.

GEGA was plunged from the red sea and lost themselves in a maze of words and definitions. Exploring the wrongness of their own being leading into outbursts of rhythm, voice and poetry. Through their expressions GEGA finds self-determining paths of movement within our world.
