Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.

With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.

A fulcrum to the Japanese noise scene, JOJO Hiroshige has been responsible for much of the explosion of free music coming from Japan in the last 30 years.
What might Carter and Parker’s collaboration tell us about our own performances of responsibility and liberty, whether individual, social or musical?
