Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.
The production of moving image (film) by the mechanically, unfalteringly repetitive manipulation of mass-produced materials (film), in order to explore three different allegorical representations (films) of repetitive human actions and labour under capital.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.

Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
