Vomir

Vomir is the project of French musician Romain Perrot, known for his extreme harsh noise wall recordings and performances in which he stands completely motionless, often in a plastic bag over his head, for extended periods while the music — a dense, static wall of undifferentiated harsh noise — plays at overwhelming volume. This position — total immobility, total sonic extremity — is both an aesthetic program and a philosophical statement about the function of noise.

Perrot has theorized his practice as nihiliste, deploying noise not as a vehicle for transgression, provocation, or aesthetic reward, but as a consistent negation of all those categories.
