Bad Ambulance

Original live experimental electronic music with visual display

Bad Ambulance is the ever-compounding electronic music project of audio-visual artist Jack Palmer. A symbiosis of studio production and live improvised performance, Bad Ambulance reimagines and re-processes an archive of studio releases and unreleased material. This is set to a synchronised backdrop of ghost-like video-junk, invoking a dream-state in which the psychic residues of dead media imagery can be re-swallowed, properly digested, and transduced into a nourishing fertiliser. Bad Ambulance is set to release his sixth studio album — ‘Intel 95’ on Nice Music in early September.
