NYC/LA electronic duo Collapsing Scenery hosts art event for ‘Metaphysical Cops’ video: LA, 07.31

Collapsing Scenery‘s musical comfort zone can be found somewhere between the barriers that separate sound and image. And they’ve been sharing that creative vision with their home cities of New York and LA through a series of eventful art installations. The faces behind this electronic act and multimedia project are Don De Vore of Sick Feeling and Reggie Debris, and their collaboration has transformed into something more than just music. They debuted the video installation in NYC this past May, in time with the public release of the video (check it out below), and this Friday they’ll be taking it to Los Angeles. The music video is just a sample of the aesthetics behind the installation, pairing their raucous electro track "Metaphysical Cops," with dark and ethereal images of nature, kaleidoscopic cityscapes and historic war footage in neon. Expect an artistically experimental night of immersive environments, video projections, and live music at the event this Friday (8pm at the Dilettante), and look out for Collapsing Scenery’s full length debut album coming later this year. – Sam O’Hara
