As far as demolitionists go, Radiator Greys, gloves and all, is as graceful as a swan when tugging at the spools and guts of an unlucky discard bin cassette. His surgical ritual of deconstruction is a nice convergence of performance and sound — we watch and hear the demolition. In other words, we have our tape and eat it too.
In “Existing in a Room,” Mr. Greys and his ritual are nowhere in sight. Do not adjust your television set, however, because, after a blue beginning, outer limits of static registering on the Hans Richter scale jolt the being out of calibration and into an abstract breathing room of sorts, where the imagination may run wild. Patrick James Cain’s star gate zig-zags run sideways and wild, ever-scored by Radiator Greys’s steady-easy-does-it channel surf through the dark dramas of ether region fuzz. It’s a production: a multi-directional have-it-your-way thriller, sci-fi as hypnosis, an undefined and untranslatable myth.
Radiator Greys’s Denying the Other is out now on Hausu Mountain.
