She is one half of The Fertile Crescent with collaborator Oxhy, curates the acclaimed Seraph FM event series at Ormside Projects, and maintains an active performance schedule across the UK and beyond, with recent appearances at Cafe Oto, Belgium's Meakusma and Italy's Lost festival
JOSEF KURTZ is an artist based in London.
His work, equal parts emotive & alien, breaks a window into a darkly psychedelic dream state, where genre tropes express and depress themselves in a mania of sounds and textures.
He has performed across the UK in varying modes of obfuscation, evidence of past outings often washed away like the destruction of a buddhist mandala, remaining only in memory and word-of-mouth. He has performed in London, Glasgow & Newcastle.
Sacrifice Zone is the new project of both artists, this will be their first live collaborative iteration.
