MEDUSA COMPLEX

About Me


THE MEDUSA COMPLEX. We are far from simplistic, but simplistic the same. We believe this genre of music functions most efficiently when showcasing the sheer force which tends to be lost in the matrix of experimental music. Our message is personal. Our lyrics deal with emotions and issues which tend to be dark in nature. Our music serves as a vehicle from which we may vent disappointment and remain civil in our daily lives. Our empathy grows so cold it burns. Awake now and in a strange place. Numb and asking how we got here.
"The Medusa Complex is the operational psyche of syncretism, that which brings together not only disparate ways of perceiving and believing, but of being—that which transforms through precisely its refusal of traditional boundaries, of flesh or stone, of mythology or history, of intellect or art. But more than that, The Medusa Complex in fact reverses these boundaries, rendering them unintelligible, non-functional—fictional, but paradoxically present none-the-less. In this sense, contemporary individuality has become performative to a point of excess—the intoxication with postmodern possibility becoming the grounding point for a discursive leap into the possibilities of imaginative formulation."
Ted Hiebert.
