«The Berlin and Basel-based duo Elfrid The Third & Ivan Eyes consists of poet and performer Norwin Tharayil and sound artist Jascha Dormann. Their collaboration over the past three years has resulted in a music album titled «A Case of Paranoia», released in May 2023. With versatile vocal performances and often cinematic productions, Elfrid & Ivan manage to combine their eclectic influences on their debut album into an accessible aesthetic that references electronic music, RnB and rap with precise minimalist gestures. Together with visual artist Janis Polar, Elfrid & Ivan have translated this unique sound into an atmospheric, immersive audiovisual performance that has been performed at the Münchner Kammerspiele, Neumarkt Theatre, Kaserne Basel.» (Tasnim Baghdadi, Migros Museum)
«LOW LOWER SON is an attempt to speak about the body – a physical, political and societal entity – as a site of reprimands and control and the effects that such pressures create. An inquiry into what happens to bodies that are relegated to an existence of either invisibility or hyper visibility – paradoxically often at the same time. What remains? The dissociation within the individual, the fraught relationship between body and its environment, and the indomitable sense of longing that permeates everything» // Elfrid the Third
