IRIS, the second CD release from the duo Evidence (Stephan Moore and Scott Smallwood) on the Deep Listening label, is also their first video release. The DVD has the same sonic material as the music on the CD, but it features video pieces by the duo's favorite live-video performers, including Benton-C Bainbridge, Betsey Biggs, Fi$h2000, Madeleine Gallagher, Dawn Haleta, David Lublin, Jonathan Lee Marcus, Olivia Robinson, skfl, Diana Reed Slattery, Jack Turner and Walter Wright. These pieces emphasize the spontaneity of the artists' live performances, the practice of using "found" materials, and suggest the emergence of a regional aesthetic stemming from the recent hotbed of media performance centered around Troy, New York.

"Evidence have conceived the a-priori soundtrack to these urban fantasies as a vibrating and vivid treasure chest, full of hissing rhythms, beats from unlikly objects and surprising beauty. It makes perfect sense to listen to their work on a regular CD player, even though it has to be said that the organic liaison between the videos and the compositions does make the combined experience a deeper one. With the concept of “Iris” in mind, that is no degradation whatsoever, but rather a sign that this project has been a success." -Tobias Fischer on Tokafi
