Sachiko M and Ami Yoshida, two of the most prominent members of the Onkyo movement, place much more emphasis on sound texture than on musical structure, distilling elements of techno, noise, and electronic music into a unique hybrid.
Vajra are a Japanese psychedelic rock supergroup, hewn from the collective consciousness of Fushitsusha’s Keiji Haino, folk radical Kan Mikami and percussionist Toshiaki Ishitsuka.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Terry is one of the most entertaining and unpredictable musicians in the London free improvising music scene. Rhodri Davies extends his instrument under a battery of techniques creating sound colours and textures quite alien to the harp.

Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
