concept
rust. its patina. and decay. surrounding. building. moving beyond. propelling you forward. immersed in its complexity. overwhelmed by its truth. and its beauty. resonating. imagined. or real. in this place. floating. dreaming. sinking. shining with you. like glass. a whisper. a scream. sounds encompassing, then fading away. layers of suggestion, seeping in the mind. peeling it away. leaving it bare. and whole. full of everything, then nothing. a soundtrack. for a dream. or a nightmare. taking you to a place inside. and losing you there. and i am haunted by this always.
(l. daugherty-seto)
biography
former band member of experimental electro-pop project parade, s.seto first appeared as splintercage in 1996 with his debut cassette "still movement bliss". with the disbanding of parade in 2000, he reconceptualized the splintercage project, taking it on a new journey that will always be an ongoing process. experience. growth. transformation. splintercage to s:cage. textured, layered, moody, melodic, this work merges beauty and anger, harshness with light, dreams with nightmares to dive into a world of soundscapes and noise. infused with beats, or stripped down and bare, s:cage creates an atmosphere of electronic sound that draws from a variety of genres. along with a strong visual element, this project has drawn from its roots in the experimental to offer us a vision.
