Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
A sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
What kind of listening and acknowledging do we offer each other? What is it to listen to an ‘elsewhere’, and do we ever do anything else when we listen to music?
A landmark film on black life – a poetic filmic constellation of meditations, fragments and interviews on what it means to be black in America in the 21st century, from one of its great cinematographers.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
The weeks previous TLRS daily radio shows, after-hours conversations, radio booths and special guests reassembled as a live electroacoustic performance.
Droner responsible for Fordell Research Unit, Muscletusk’s murk manipulator and Metzian concrete-mixer cement international relations and yr heids.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
