Swan Meat (US) is the performance name of Reba Fay, a poet, producer, audio engineer, and DJ from Washington, D.C. Swan Meat pairs spoken word with jarring industrial electronic compositions. Her visceral, raw sound is informed by her experiences with chronic illness. Her debut EP, Bounty, released on the Parisian PERMALNK imprint, explored recovery from bulimia nervosa through the lens of Samus Aran from the Metroid series. Swan Meat builds her own instruments and makes plug-ins using SuperCollider, Max, and Chuck, thus adding to her distinct sound. Her compositions encompass a range of influences from Suicide and Sonic Youth to Mozart and Pauline Oliveros.
