Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
Do almost nothing: re-present (unaltered and arranged by chance) silent family home movies handed down to Flo, (Ken’s wife) and follow them with a “teach yourself Yiddish” cassette tape.
Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Ken Jacobs chats to Edwin Carels: Edwin is a curator based in Ghent, responsible for some fantastic programmes of experimental film and art at the Rotterdam Film festival (amongst others).
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Could cruising and random public sex be the basis of an ethically organised society? A discussion with Jackie Wang, Samuel R. Delany and Huw Lemmey.
Inspired by Delany’s Aye, and Gomorra. A spookily filmic world where asexual bodies live in the contradiction of their unarousable loneliness and desire for intimacy and contact.
