ARTIST FOCUS DAY 7: Mesmerist
Welcome to Day 7 of our ARTIST FOCUS series, where we talk about the creators we have brought on for TERMINALSPACES. Today, we're talking about frequent collaborator and accomplished remixer, @wearemesmerist.
In the artist's words: "Mesmerist is a stray pink cat who talks about their fandom for Toby Fox, Porter Robinson, Madeon, Persona 5, Sonic The Hedgehog, and My Hero Academia, as well as the fact that they somehow got a Bachelor's in Physics, to an annoying degree. Tune in to their multi-genre set for a mix of good music, bad music, and 'music' that's pretty much just noise."
In our words: If anyone should promote themselves a little bit more strongly, it'd be Mesmerist, but we feel the above paragraph is just their style. Mes is very much a meta-driven DJ that takes everything about the performance art form and aims to subvert it. From con sets done in cosplay, to politically charged URL sets, to DJing while being trapped in the basement, there is no such thing as "expectations" around Mesmerist... except, of course, for expecting a really good time.
