Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Acoustic turntable, engines, trumpet and accordion joined by Bassist Magarida Garcia: build long-form quietly detailed pieces that clatter and rumble, that expand and contract with the tension and release of deeply held breath.
Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?

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.
Joan La Barbara presents works exploring the colour spectrum of a single pitch resonating in her skull, an evocation of bird song and circular singing.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
