Low fidelity art

[anusenvy]

Hello all.

There is a New England artist whose work I'm very fond of. The project is TVE. This is his (Seamus) solo endeavor. He is also a part of groups like Lean and performs with Venerate the Plough and such. Met him through noise. Always appreciated having performers sound like this on same show as harsher sounding projects. TVE is all tape related... spliced/overdubbed on dirty tapes/field recordings to dirty tape/etc. At times it just sounds like dirty tape with no sound recording playing. In Lean he typically crudely builds crackle boxes and other such instruments. He also is a visual artist (all releases on his label and his own personal ones are his own art). His label is Ayurvedic Tapes. I'm linking 1 album on bandcamp, 1 album that may be of some interest to this specific forum (discogs), and his label (discogs)

I have a very large selection of his solo, duo, and label releases that are not on his Bandcamp. I also have some of his art zines. If interested in any, feel free to DM.

Interested in learning about similar artists around the world both in visual art and sound art.

TVE/Seamus is incredible. Fantastic audio and visual artist, super interesting approach and set of influences. Who else do you know bootlegging David Tudor and P16.D4 t-shirts? I've got a feature from one of his collages tattooed on my arm. The absolute real deal.

In terms of artists operating in similar ways I would recommend anything around the UVC/Born Physical Form world.

Thank you very much for recommendation. I myself have had the pleasure of doing duo with him. That's awesome about the tattoo. Ironically I've considered getting his art as tattoo as well. I once decorated my cubicle with his art. It was a huge hit ....

Yeast Culture comes to mind, as far as the visual end goes.

Seamus's stuff is pretty cool, although I need to dig more into the recorded material.  Played with Lean a few times back in the day, prior to COVID.  Always struck me as one of the more interesting acts up by way of Massachusetts at the time.
