Distortion Hue with Byron Westbrook

LA-based artists Byron Westbrook and Alex Pelly presented a series of live Audio/Visual performances using electronics and modular video synth for the cathartic and damaged compositions on Distortion Hue, Westbrook’s LP with Hands in the Dark. The live iterations featured Pelly’s colorful and dynamic audio-reactive images activated by Westbrook’s sonics made with analog and digital synthesizer, computer and processed cassette tape. Their original performance was streamed online for record release in February 2021, and they expanded on this for a series of shows across California in December 2021.
