Sonic Expressionism through experimentation.

About Me

"An Expressionist wishes, above all, to express himself... [An Expressionist rejects] immediate perception and builds on more complex psychic structures....Impressions and mental images pass through his soul as through a filter which rids them of all substantial accretions to produce their clear essence [...and] are assimilated and condense into more general forms, into types, which he transcribes through simple short-hand formulae and symbols."
Dumbass is an experimental music project from Vancouver Canada who have been pushing sonic and thematic boundaries for over a decade. Their sound moves from the harsh din of so-called "industrial music" to flirtations with jazz, rock, electronica and even folk, from pure noise to surreal soundscapes.
Only an idiot would pursue unanswerable questions.
We do so with sound.
The negative form of the self exercises a loosening power as well as a binding power; at any thime it can quite arbitrarily start all over again, and no matter how long one idea is pursued, the entire action is within a hypothesis.
