Nerve Show is a lo-fi operatic landscape. It is a romance with our human vulnerability and complex consciousnesses. Frequent interruptions and tonal shifts dish up a fluctuating transmission of energy through a shared lexicon of sound and gesture. The heart of Nerve Show is its dynamic interrelationship of mutability and exaggerated impulse.
