EaViL formed their permanent collaboration in late 2002. Chicago brought together two sides of the world
geographically and psychically. EaViL is a duo consisting of n.VI and E.IV. E creates vocals, lyrics and abstract noises. n creates projections and visuals as well as composing the music. Historical and psychological themes both personal and universal dominate their music. Their audio / visual performances are best suited for galleries and small spaces. Early avant-garde and experimental shorts, the sky, architecture and squirrels are immense sources of inspiration. Paradox is a prominent variable. This is evident in the use of noise and melody, dark and light themes and conflicting moods. Their first output was a series of wildly varied compilations. These conceptual CDs incorporated their favorite artists and influences. This eventually led to an interest in VJ/DJ sets of obscure music and videos.
Collaborations with Miss Julie Fabulous provided experience with many different aspects of filmmaking. Creating music began with them performing live as part of The Electric Set. They have participated in the Version 06 / 07 and Select Media 05 Festivals. They have performed on Chic-A-Go-Go and venues
throughout the city including: Nihilist, Peter Jones Gallery, Empty Bottle, Enemy and Heaven Gallery. EaViL have self released three EPS: Le Miroir, Phantasmic Seam and Ardilla Arias under their NERV imprint. A full length album is set for release in the near future.
