Zetsumetsu is a multimedia project between Flutter (Christine Ingaldson) and Zetsumei (Nick Dye) with music as the centerpiece. They conjure up a danceable tug of war between soft and abrasive sounds through the use of their human voices and custom-built synthesizers.

Through their hardcore DIY ethic, they have been restoring a 1986 Road Rescue emergency vehicle to deliver a pop-up experimental dance music experience. This performance from an ambulance is known as Modular on the Rescue (MOTR). Focusing on the concept of impermanence and presence, they capture and release their art while exploring the road less traveled alongside themes of death, memory, nature, and existential struggles.

At home in Racine, WI, they curate and co-host REACT (Racine Electronic Arts Collective Takeover), a quarterly electronic arts event.
