NASH THE SLASH RISES AGAIN!

description

An unearthly film about artistic integrity, courage and the price-tag that comes with it, NASH THE SLASH RISES AGAIN! uncovers the sinister Canadian electronic music innovator.

Nash the Slash took his name from the killer butler in a 1927 Laurel and Hardy silent film, covered his head in surgical bandages and performed an unearthly one-man-show surrounded by half a ton of electronic sound processors and a couple of tape recorders. A classically trained violinist and multi-instrumentalist, he created music that was an unlikely combination of prog-rock, punk-rock, classic-rock, psychedelic with techno and industrial before they had names; high technology meets the age of horror, surreal and demented. The end result is a life drenched in film history enveloped in a wall of sound. NASH THE SLASH RISES AGAIN! unwinds the bandages of a ground-breaking, mad musical scientist whose career decomposed before the world caught up.
