Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Every aspect of every film is always about more than just film. Or, as Godard said: a tracking shot is a moral issue. A cross between a festival, magazine and discussion about experimental artists’ films.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Four intimate 45 minute sessions, readings of your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
A double bill of A (imageless) film of nothing but a sound recording and its transcription and a found film of news interviews about Malcolm X’s assasination, where the filmmaker decided to add nothing to it, except our attention.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
