Tom Kazas new album Dysomphē

The new album by Tom Kazas is an avantgarde work; an experimentalism of words, of voices, of music. In form, in staging; of postcroon. Dysomphē wilfully falls between all the cracks. It’s rebuff of genre is matched only by its derision for the obscenity of power. 

“Dysomphē is:

an avant crashpost

a critico-political artburst

a postcroon cabaret 

the v-effekt soundstaged 

for the capitalo-pyrocene.”

dys: 

bad, unfortunate, abnormal, difficult

omphē:

voice, song, oracle; oneiric, prophetic

A.J. Bartlett:

“This fascination, this seduction, this will to pretention, pop and representation…where it can’t remix the justice of the Real. Tom sounds us the empty place of the emptying men; their bathetic crescendo at the end of the world is a clear give away: an atonic “Barrawarn envy!”…Dys-omphē denudes the piper’s tune.”

Clinton Green:

“A common question of late is ‘how are we to make art about the present global moment, in all its absurdity and horror and self-censoring reflexivity?’ With “Dysomphē”, Kazas has found a way; through an engagement with gritty poetry in the mouths of a virtual room of AI operatives, a subversive methodology, and an eye for the beautiful and the ridiculous.”
