Puce Mary (Ritual Community Music)

As Puce Mary, the Danish artist Frederikke Hoffmeier tests the established limits of noise music through sustained experimentation and risk driven by emotive gusto. Puce Mary’s music is harsh, but its aggression is necessary. Her performances are easy to be dragged into but brutally hard to get out of. The underhand of control as censurable nurture—this dialectic is a perennial tonic in sound. Dominance against submission. Artist against audience. Both take turns dealing blows. https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/events/puce-mary-melbourne Ritual Community Music The Tote, Melbourne 21 August 2016 Presented by Liquid Architecture, Audio Foundation and The Tote Financial support from patrons at any level has a resounding impact on our work.
