No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Sometimes delicate, sometimes harsh and jarring, Yagi’s koto solos are as much inspired by Nancarrow or Cage as they are traditional.
What’s the relationship between the eternal hum of the oceanic beloved and the persistence of vorticity in fluid dynamics? And how does Alice Coltrane’s harp help us stay there?
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.

A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
