M LORE MUSIC
M LORE IS THE EXPERIMENTAL POP PROJECT OF MULTIMEDIA ARTIST M LORE WINGREN. THEIR DEBUT EP, NEW ME, IS OUT ON THE UP AND COMING UNGUARDED LABEL.
PARKETT CHANNEL HIGHLIGHTS M’S CREATION OF “A TRULY NEW RHYTHM” CALLING THE PROJECT “THE NEW FRONTIERS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC” WHILE COURVE X CHEFS DESCRIBES M’S LYRICS AS “BOTH IRONIC AND DREAMLIKE.” IN THESE LYRICS M LORE TWISTS THE BAD GIRL/BOY POP TROPE, THEN SINGS ABOUT TURNING INTO AN ORCHID AND BURNING OUT AT THE STAKE BEFORE BECOMING THE PROVERBIAL “NEW ME.”
ALONG WITH PRODUCING, M DESIGNS GAME-LIKE APPARATUSES TO PLAY MUSIC. THIS UNDERLIES A LIVE SET FULL OF MORPHING SYMBOLS, FLASHING LIGHTS, AND WILD DANCING. M’S WORK HAS BEEN FEATURED AT VENUES SUCH AS TRANSMEDIALE, BERLINER FESTSPIEL, AND ARS ELECTRONICA. THEY HAVE HELD RESIDENCIES WITH AMPLIFY BERLIN, UNDER THE MENTORSHIP AMNESIA SCANNER’S VILLE HAIMALA, AND ELEKTRONMUSIKSTUDION STOCKHOLM.
M LORE LIVE
M LORE’S AUDIO-VISUAL LIVE PERFORMANCE IS ALL ABOUT CONSTRUCTING, DESTROYING, AND TRANSCENDING THE SELF.
IT BEGINS WITH AN ABSURD SLIDE-PRESENTATION-EXPERIMENTAL-NOISE-EDM-BANGER-POEM, EVOLVES INTO OFF-KILTER DANCE-POP KARAOKE, AND THEN FALLS TO PIECES IN THE BAD-BOY-GIRL-MACHINE, WHICH IS AN A/V SYNTH LOADED WITH 50+ YEARS OF POP SONGS THAT SAY “BAD GIRL” OR “BAD BOY” AND ANAGRAMS OF THESE PHRASES. E.G., GAB BIG BOY GLIB BAD BOG GIRL DOG...
THE VISUALS ARE WORDY THROUGHOUT. THE UNHINGED PREAMBLE IS SO VERBOSE IT TURNS INTO A STROBE LIGHT. LYRICS ARE HAND-SCRAWLED ATOP OCULAR MIGRAINE IMAGERY, SHAPESHIFTING SYMBOLS, AND FLOWING LAVA THAT HARDENS INTO LITTLE METALLIC CHARMS.
THESE CHARMS ARE LATER SEEN IN THE NUCLEUS OF A “BIBLICALLY ACCURATE ANGEL,” AS M SINGS “SEND ME AN ANGEL...” VISUAL MOTIFS COME FROM THE LYRICS AND FROM DREAMS (AS WELL AS DISTURBANCES IN THE OCULAR CORTEX).
THE ATTITUDE OF THE PERFORMANCE IS IMPISH. M LORE’S AVATAR IS A LITERAL IMP WITH AN M FOR EARS (OR HORNS?). IT APPEARS IN 2D FORM AS A LOGO AND IN 3D FORM IT IS ANIMATED WITH MOTION CAPTURE OF M DANCING.
