IGORRR - DAEMONI
Igorrr doing what only Igorrr can do. Butoh dance, throat singing, and breakcore colliding in a single video.
Igorrr released “Daemoni” and the video is directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz. If you know his work, you know what to expect. Dystopian imagery. Dark palette. Performers moving like something went wrong with their nervous system. It is unsettling in all the right ways.
Martyn Clement’s guitar work cuts through the chaos with surgical precision. Dmitry Tarakanov’s throat singing adds a layer that shouldn’t work in this context but absolutely does. That is the Igorrr formula. Things that have no business coexisting, forced together until they make sense.
The standout visual element is Butoh performer Kokoro, played by Krzysztof Jerzak. Butoh is a Japanese dance form built around grotesque transformation and extreme slowness. Paired with Igorrr’s breakneck tempo shifts, it creates this constant friction between what you see and what you hear. Choreographer Daria Jasinska deserves credit for making that tension work rather than just feel random.
Gautier Serre keeps pushing his project further into territory nobody else occupies. “Daemoni” is another proof that Igorrr exists in a genre of one. You either get it or you leave confused. Both reactions are valid.
