Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
Joe Colley specialises in hotwired sound constructions full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones. For KYTN, Joe created a situation of controlled chaos with 50 light sensitive oscillators placed in a field of candles.
The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.
