SPRAWLL is my conception of a punk/hardcore song but infused with synthetic sound design that could echoes imagery found in the anime Evangelion and other esoteric sci fi media. I want the production to sound as if it is simulating an inorganic body under crisis, as if the frontman of a hardcore band was moshing and stage diving but their body was made of steel, loose wires, and malfunctioning electronics. Over this I am delivering my vocals in visceral screams. The primality of the vocals with the synthesized chaos of the production creates a framework for me to introduced unprompted and unpredictable body movement and performance. I want this song to be able to create new pathways in the room as I move in it, and disengage the audience with their feeling of control and understanding of the space they occupy. With the intention of providing catharsis and pathways through this fear and chaos later in the performance, I believe using SPRAWLL at the beggining of the performance properly sets up the emotional arc I am trying to manifest for myself and those participating in the performance.
