A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Although Tony had visited Haino in Japan, and they played together in private, this was the first time anyone other that Haino’s cat saw them perform together.
Could cruising and random public sex be the basis of an ethically organised society? A discussion with Jackie Wang, Samuel R. Delany and Huw Lemmey.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
A live installation of the ‘Film Ist’: projected on 4 huge screens and an improvised soundtrack from 4 figureheads of the Austrian experimental music scene.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
