Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
An immersive environment where sound is looped through oscillators, radio, guitar pick-ups and video amps to create dense strobing images and colours
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
Kylie Minoise Vs Nackt Insecten feedback/ vocal physical threat ‘vs’ ecstatic electronic cloudbursts
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Summer Solstice hang out IRL and URL on 21 June
How do we make the connections between the mutual aid practices of our daily lives and anti-capitalist efforts to dismantle wider systems of exploitation?
Sound and image slipping out of synch and into discord, the programme includes (in London at least) a very special version of Hollis Frampton’s masterful (nostalgia) with a live narration by Michael Snow.
