Abstracting through wet and softwares Humanbeast can be found in the dungeon, the museum, at the pulpit, club, funeral, forest, and the end of a leash.

The sticky web of tension connects our protagonists and these varied medium through wet and softwares, Humanbeast has published recordings on Load Records and Gross Domestic Product.
"Humanbeast is the subversive, performance-art-cum-electrified-noise-bass-music performed by duo Maralie (Valise) and Eli V. Manuscript. Humanbeast's performances are marked by high-intensity, challenging performance, employing ritualistic practices and marrying challenging, symbolic gesture with throbbing walls of white noise, analog synthesis, the primeval wail of human voice and the cold, distant utterings of computer speech"
