Egg wants to talk
about things it’s seen.
It has always been there; it’s seen a lot.

It makes some other things
to talk to about
how we got here.
But they’re not interested in how.
They have their own questions, like
can i make fringe grow out faster how ‘good’ was
that ‘chat’ should i get third pair of fleece trackies
why anal fissure not healing do u know
positivenews.org why do i think about death whilst
showering and should i become a cop or a
hooligan or a prophet and why am i suffering who
did this to me and what’s next?

These are questions about good and evil and having
any morals in the first place
They are songs about pain which is one form of truth
They’re about remembering- or dis-membering
History gets unwritten all the time
History gets unwri

Hi,

Louise is a sound- and performance artist based in Glasgow. Inspired by pop, noise, punk and opera, she makes musically infused absurdist performance. In her most recent projects, she has explored ways to talk about /
fight against imposed silences and selective erasures of history. She likes to work with other humans, machines, field recordings, inanimate objects (or are they?), things that already contain truths, which can talk to one another.

With original music by Spine (Kairos Pakleppa and Louise Van Tassel).
