Jason from the Lake is an imaginary, nomadic electro-industrial band that has existed forever yet debuted live in 2024 at the legendary Bad Bonn Kilbi Festival. Emerging from the Siberian experimental noise scene of the 90s, their performances weave dense electro soundscapes with visuals, creating immersive night rituals, haunting collages, and visceral audiovisual experiences that bridge memory and technology.
