A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.

Paul Sharits one of the great experimental, sometimes called structuralist / materialist, filmmakers of the 20th Century.
Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.
