Manicurism by No Plexus blends electronic music with stunning visuals, exploring the clash between nature’s raw power and humanity’s attempts to tame it. A mesmerizing, high-tech audiovisual journey, the project takes you through transformed landscapes, showcasing No Plexus' genre-defying sound and collaborative artistry.

No Plexus, a genre-queer electronic duo, explores the tension between nature's raw forces and humanity's need to control it in their project Manicurism. Comprising singer-composer Bec Plexus and producer No Compliments, with visuals by Roel Wouters from Moniker, this five-part trilogy blends angular melodies and rhythms with stunning, high-tech visuals. The project, originally intended as a simple live recording, evolves into a mesmerizing audiovisual journey, filmed with drones in otherworldly, human-altered landscapes. Manicurism offers a captivating look into No Plexus’ innovative approach to music and collaboration, created in commission for Rewire.
