MOUTHS is a collaborative improvisation project consisting of composer/improvisors Elliott Lupp and Kris David Bendrick that specializes in both composed and improvised electroacoustic noise music. MOUTHS was formed in early 2019 out of a love for both electronic instrument building, harsh noise, and laptop improvisation.
As a duo, MOUTHS is a chance for both artists to come together, listen, build, create, and perform with both virtuosity and group musicianship, while exploring and experimenting with electroacoustic noise, gesture, form, and theatrics.
The duo aims to present a unique and visceral live set that not only showcases the laptop as a dynamic and gestural instrument, but exhibits each of the performer’s personalized set instruments and interactive controllers as improvisational tools.
