An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Taku’s actions strip back musical performance to one of its original proposals: what is an action and how does it create a situation for spending time together, for paying attention?
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
Nikos played every note that it’s possible to play on the cello, all played back as a one hour drone, while the cello was turned to powder and bottled.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.
