Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.

Since the 1960’s Oliverios has had a profound influence on generations of musicians through her work with myth and ritual, improvisation and meditation.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.

Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
