A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
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?
Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.

The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.

An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
