My sister's work.
"Michele Seippel is a one-of-a-kind, truly innovative artist and her episode kicks off four episodes that were filmed at Subterranea Collective in Richmond, VA in conjunction with Good Day RVA, Luke Rabin, and Nelly Kate. Spurred by Nelly’s interest in bringing more of her favorite Richmond artists to the show and my interest in collaborating with both Subterranea and Good Day, it made sense to tackle shooting four episodes in a single day on location in Richmond. It was an exhausting 16 hours of shooting, but it was an amazing experience and has yielded some of the best and most diverse performances of the show.
Michele’s music combines elements of idm, sampling, sound design, ambient, and experimental film. Her work isn’t fully experienced without the visual elements that she controls dynamically throughout her musical performance. So much of her work is built around everyday sights and sounds, things she can assemble and build from her surroundings. Lights passing on her ceiling form loosely defined shapes on her screen, the sounds of rustling sheets are deconstructed into soundscapes in her software. Her performance is at once filled with organic and familiar moods as well as completely strange and beautiful soundscapes. It’s a truly amazing performance, and one that can lead to a completely visceral listening experience.
