"Waterfall"

Waterfall was a live performance aiming to unravel the mythology of the rock band as both spectacle and hollow ritual. Using sound, stenography, and live intervention, the piece and album it supports examines the opioid crisis, deaths of despair, and the quiet erosion of Middle America. A drifting, fractured soundscape—drones, washed-out guitars, ghostly vocals—mirrors a culture caught between catharsis and numbness. Waterfall critiques the affluent American entanglement with its own destruction, exposing the rock spectacle as both a site of rebellion and depoliticized excess. This was produced in collaboration with New York's Stone Circle Theatre in November 2023.
