Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.

Series of short sets by Acid Mothers Temple / Ruins offshoots Zubi Zuva X, Akaten & Zoffy.
