Taking a moment to introduce to some of my collaborators on the upcoming documentary, WHAT WILL I BECOME? - focused on themes of suicide, masculinity, and trans community.
Meet our composer!! PERIGEE VITZ-WONG <3 Who I was so happy to meet for the first time on a dance floor at Oberlin College.
Perigee Vitz-Wong (they/them)! A multidisciplinary artist and performer from Seattle, WA, currently residing in Southern California. James holds a Master of Fine Arts in Performance and Composition from California Institute of the Arts and a Bachelor of Music in Classical Bass Performance and Technology in Music and Related Arts from Oberlin Conservatory. Current focuses include audience interactivity and immersion, live digital processing, improvisation, installation, and dance.
With sound, Perigee crafts soundscapes by layering double bass and voice with digital effects. The music is both unfamiliar and welcoming – these places have never existed, yet there are footprints.
With movement, Perigee uses spatial awareness as a method of communication. A body can see where another body is without looking, feel how they emote without asking, dance in response without thinking.
With visuals, Perigee constructs representations of physical realities disrupted by emergent chaos. The footage has a defined presence, but it crumbles with a single breath.
With narrative, Perigee wants to know how participant would behave as a character. If you discover that the path splits up ahead, you also notice that there is a path and you are still on it.

We previously collaborated on the experimental and very personal short FULL, “a collage film documenting dissociation, sexual assault, and all the times I didn't have words for myself.” Perigee did the music (under a different name) and the project premiered in Szczecin, Poland.
