​Obscenity State is an audiovisual artist, producer, musician, academic and activist that has been performing her shows across London and Europe at venues such as Corsica Studios, Fire and Iklectik. Her performance captures the euphoria of club culture whilst drawing from the musical depth of her background in classical music, with moments of tension and release, layering melodic counterpoints and dissonant shifting pitches. Drawing you deeper into the sound, the immersive audio visual live set submerges the audience with her emotive use imagery and dramatic use of light.

Passion, blood ties and cultural complexity drove the cinematic vision behind Nilly Brook’s Obscenity State. Driven by her experience growing up in a family torn by the Iranian revolution, Nilly became hyper-aware of the corruption of power in its various forms. Seeking clarity, she immersed herself in art, global politics, animation and music initially through her studies at Central Saint Martins, the School of Oriental and African Studies and the London College of Music. Processing and transforming the energies around her, what emerged was an evolving creative force culminating in Obscenity State’s immersive live audio visual performance.

​

Initially Nilly wrote and performed classical and post classical music alongside performing in an earlier version of Obscenity State as a band. She also exhibited at London galleries, worked in the animation industry, has begun composing for film and currently lectures Visual FX and Music at various universities as well as having a role at Amnesty International.
