Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
A Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by improviser yodeller, composer Phil Minton.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.

Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
