Electronic Mayhem Emerges from Colombia's Digital Underground
In the flickering half-light of a studio somewhere in Colombia, a strange experiment unfolds. STTSM, that bundle of raw nerve endings and electronic wizardry, has launched their twisted brainchild into the world — the 'Experimental Electronic Live Sessions' series. Like some digital-physical hybrid creature emerging from primordial technological soup, these performances merge the sweaty reality of in-person music with the cold reach of digital streaming.
I witnessed the footage from the first savage transmission in late March — two figures hunched over their equipment in SITIO Web3 Studio like mad scientists, one manning a keyboard with the intensity of a bomb technician, the other coaxing unholy sounds from an electric guitar. These weren't just musicians; they were sound alchemists transmuting raw current into auditory hallucinations.
The Degen's Digital Playground
Before this full-blown performance, STTSM had released 'Degen Jam #2' on March 29th — a fractured, disturbing glimpse into their creative process. The footage shows hands manipulating a Volca Keys Synthesizer, twisting knobs and patching cables in a ritualistic dance. The visuals pulsate in abstract black-and-white patterns, like some kind of avant-garde seizure designed for the terminally hip.
There's something beautifully deranged about this approach — solitary creation followed by collaborative performance, private madness made public. This is how artistic movements begin: not with manifestos but with fingers on synthesizers, building sounds that haven't existed before.
The Solo Descent Approaches
The beast grows restless. On April 2nd, STTSM announced the second installment of this electronic fever dream, scheduled for April 3rd at 21:30 GMT-5. But this time, the creature stands alone.
'I'm a little bit nervous because it will be the first time in a long time since I play alone!' confessed STTSM in a moment of vulnerability that cuts through the digital static.
This next transmission promises 'new Nounish visuals and music' — another layer to this expanding hallucination. 'Dive into the signal,' STTSM beckons. It's an invitation to madness, to beauty, to the weird space where technology and humanity blur together in a feedback loop of creation.
What we're witnessing isn't just music; it's a new nervous system being built in public, transmission by transmission. Colombia's electronic frontiersman is carving out territory where the physical and digital worlds collide, and we're all invited to the crash site.
