We organise experimental music, film and art events.  We’ve been doing that since 2001.  We’re interested in those artforms as ways of thinking, and as useful ways to engage with the world.  We’re interested in how music and film can develop though interaction with radical practices in other disciplines: artistic and non-artistic alike.
