SUMMER SCUM 8. Pharmakon. Kevin Drumm. Burning Star Core. Live. JUL 28 2023 TV Eye

00:00 Pharmakon (Margaret Chardiet) EU, UK Booking: US Booking: is an interdisciplinary sound artist born and based in New York City. As a founding member of the Red Light District collective in Far Rockaway, NY, she has been a figurehead in the underground experimental scene since the age of seventeen. Pharmakon as a project, entity, and process exists and evolves in true protean form, developing alongside and within Margarets personal experience and autodidactic philosophies. Her work as a whole is a forced selfpossession: a celebration of ferality and viscereality, abandoning a society that has never accepted anything it couldnt also exploit. Chardiet uses electronic synthesis as a tool to transfer this selfpossession physiologically and intraspatially into the bodies of their audience. Timbre becomes temper, a tameless social contagion or biorhythm. 22:42 Burning Star Core 27:37 Kevin Drumm
