Body of Reverbs and Swamp Booking are excited to present a new series of performative actions across Europe in October 2023.
BODY OF REVERBS is a performance piece started by Michele Servadio in 2014. It is a contemporary ritual where tattooing turns into sound.
B.O.R. is not an usual band, it is a site specific audio-visual piece where the body at the centre of the attention gets magnified and manifested, and takes place in peculiar environments, such as deserts, churches, clubs and remote houses.
B.O.R. is a sonified and amplified tattoo. A technique of subjective reconfiguration through pain, sound and a permanent mark on the body.
With Body of Reverbs, tattooing returns to its ritualistic, archaic beginnings, while simultaneously ushering the trade into the world of contemporary art.
The sound of the needle touching the skin gets amplified and enhanced, processed through effects it gets designed and sculpted by the sound artists of the group.
The result is a deeply haunting and layered sound that has transfixed audiences around Europe where it has been refined and perfected into something overwhelmingly immersive.
The group recently released a 7” with Zen Hex, the recording of a session in the Judean Desert.
In 2019 they released a set of 4 flexi discs with Coward Records.
In 2018 they released a 12” LP with Non Piangere Dischi accompanied by a book edited by Galleria Varsi.
Body of Reverbs is:
a person presented for the performance
Brunello as sound artist
Karl Verboten as video worker
Servadio as performer/tattooer
Lupus as anatomist
Special custom needles, prepared by Caro Ley will be used for our rituals, to leave very peculiar and unique marks.
