Brain boiling duo improvisation by great Japanese no input mixing desk pioneer Toshi Nakamura and french organ philosopher Jean-Luc Guionnet.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
Inspired by the supernatural horror of H. P. Lovecraft, black metal and a sense of worry as to what constitutes an object, or a world.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
A performed, open, public conversation about how we might think politics from the position of intuition, in which Denise and Valentina use un-reasonable tools to map out a hybrid poetical/ ethical reading of their own situations.
Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
