about

Alex Virr has been exploring visual aides to develop and cultivate his creative palettes. From tattooing history to sci-fi theatre, he captures the comic heroine Poison Ivy as his recent study. The storyboard for this quest places Poison Ivy behind the bass bins, deep into the A.M with your eyes closed. The intro is a gentle build, playful percussion tapping you on the shoulder. A clap keeps the playfulness steady, but anticipation is brewing as it's joined by dubby, tech-stabs slowly climbing in frequency. A deep house kick and garage high hats count in, pitching the listener into late night club territory, while in the background we hear a rising call to arms on the toms. As Poison Ivy pronounces herself with a lithe whisper, raging bass joins the jam, forming as shapeshifting synths, rumbling the bins and commanding hands in the air. Bass and tech stabs go to battle, dropping in and out, oscillating to the heavens, then shrieking while open tech hats attack the P.A. A battle for the ages, and a fitting soundtrack for a comic book anti-villain. Victory is for everyone.
