PHARMAKON
Margaret Chardiet has been a figurehead in New York's underground experimental scene since the age of seventeen when she was active in the Red Light District collective in Far Rockaway, NY. Unlike other experimental projects, Pharmakon does not improvise when performing or recording. She is concise and exact; each song/movement is linear with a clear trajectory. She glowers in measured silence as often as she shrieks, and every serrated tone is a carefully calibrated interplay between frequency and resistance.
