In the early 80's with a background working as a cell animator and hailing from a mid-sized industrial town, Harrisburg, PA, Michele Mercure was embedded in the the town's visual arts community but suffered for lack of decent music - a familiar whinge from anyone who grew up outside of the big cities - so she made her own wickedly inventive and expressive sound using synths, effects, tape loops and vocals. Her visual and musical worlds first gelled in a 1983 soundtrack for Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, followed by three self-released cassettes which built on that aesthetic, creating a richly synaesthetic style of highly visual yet mostly minimalist music. Released a few years later, Eye Chant was the pinnacle of her output, which was revealed to the world at large, thirty years later via Freedom to Spend. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Michele+Mercure">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
