Argument with Reality is a new live set for drum kit, electronics, and live visuals. It marks a clear evolution of the solo project, expanding its sonic and visual dimensions. It represents an audiovisual work that combines self-made and collected video material with footage created in collaboration with filmmaker Alek Riquelme. The work explores themes such as addiction, (non)politics, parenthood and nature. Alongside his ongoing drive to reinvent himself as a composer, producer and performer, Gerri remains grounded in his own expressive language: mixing genres to create a dynamic and unpredictable experience that shifts between power/fragility, minimalism/chaos and boredom/rapture.
Creation, production & artistic self-management: since he's 15 years old, he has written and performed original music, designed artwork, organised concerts & tours, studio sessions and released about 27 records. More and more, his work has extended across disciplines, collaborating with theatre makers, dancers/choreographers, fashion designers, visual artists, poets and filmmakers.
