New York City artist Margaret Chardiet, aka Pharmakon, makes brutal
noise music that aims to both confront people and draw them into her
harrowing universe.
Margaret Chardiet was born and raised in New York City She has been
making power electronics/death industrial music under the name Pharmakon
for five years. As a founding member of the Red Light District
collective in Far Rockaway, NY she has been a figurehead in the
underground experimental scene since the age of seventeen. She points
out that the environment there amongst so many other experimental
artists (amongst them Yellow Tears & Haflings) inspired her to keep
making increasingly challenging work. She describes her drive to make
noise music as something akin to an exorcism where she is able to
express, her “deep-seated need/drive/urge/possession to reach other
people and make them FEEL something in uncomfortable/confrontational
ways. (((sourcelink)))
