(Since 2010, gender fluid artist Beau Devereaux has chronicled their romantic and turbulent
process of self-identification as Samantha Glass through the use of
electronics, field recordings and a seductive, baritone voice. Abstract
soundscapes rise and fall around addictively brooding ballads and
introspective monologues as Glass deconstructs themself beneath the
weight of their poetry and lyrics.
Devereaux spent most of their adult
life engrossed in noise, power violence and punk DIY scenes, however
Glass sought to create a balanced form of art representative of their
ever fluid sexuality and gender identity while incorporating elements of
dark wave, musique concrète and New Age music. Samantha Glass evolved
into an outlet for drag-based performance art coupled with drum
machines, cassette loops and down-tempo crooning.
Glass richly crafts
each composition around deeply rooted biographical and contemporary
themes, reverently embodying an enticing blend of outsider art).
