Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Munehiro Narita’s Kyoaku No Intention (Worst Intentions) fired out some of the most compelling no-wave improvised rock of the 80s.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.

Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
Solo by Jean-Philippe Gross, a French electro-acoustic improviser, working with mixing board, cheap mics, small speakers and an analog synth, built around a honed interest in feedback.

Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
