MERCURIUS EDITION

The Conjunctio of Noise and Painting
Mercurius is the life-creating spirit:
formless yet shaping, volatile yet binding, meditative yet destructive.
Here, harsh noise and ink noise merge into a single process/total noise.
Both destroy form in order to create it.

This is not sound accompanied by art, nor art illustrated by sound—
it is one substance in two states. It is a „Painting“ of Total Noise.

MERCURIUS is a limited CDR series.
The CDR is housed in a handmade, unique ink painting on paper, folded into a sleeve. No two pieces are alike. The case itself is an original artwork.
Inside, you will find a four-page booklet, each page an individual ink painting on paper. These pages are not reproductions. They are autonomous works that may be removed, framed, and exhibited as fine art— outside the sleeve, outside the sound.
