Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Kenneth Goldsmith reads extracts of his conceptual poetry and Achim Wollscheid manipulates mobile phone signals.
Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves.

Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
Paul Sharits one of the great experimental, sometimes called structuralist / materialist, filmmakers of the 20th Century.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.
