Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
A panel exploring the radical potential of technologies through fugitivity and opacity: their ability to obscure, to make it impossible for us to be known, to render us untraceable by every arm of the state even under the all-consuming spectre of surveillance capital.
Three (thankfully short) chats wherein we try and get at what’s eating us with regards to experimental music, and what we think might be worth salvaging.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
A joyful conversation discussing disability, gender transition and care labour as expressions of virtuosic and innovative skills that make care – good care – possible.
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.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
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.
A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
