Advanced Live Set Production and Performance with SORCERY
Montreal-born Merlin Ettore, known as SORCERY, is a Berlin-based artist, drummer and producer rooted in experimental music and club culture. With releases on Bedouin Records, ARA, System Revival, Void+1, 47 and Midnight Shift, and collaborations with artists including Max Cooper and Kangding Ray, his work merges precision, abstraction and raw dancefloor intensity.
