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.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
We wanted to ask a bunch of the best high-energy-improvisers around; can musical form really taking shape via a group energy? Can individual concentration lead to a group consciousness?
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
Includes: tamed TV snow, video feedback of racing particles, a remake of a polish photogram film destroyed in WWII, a visual and aural representation of Gestalt theory, hole-punched film and Guy Sherwin’s Cycles 3 double-projection.
The practice of North African Indigenous revolutionary love, in the face of European capitalist violence and settler colonialism, with one of the most vital anti-colonial thinkers in Europe.
Sachiko M and Ami Yoshida, two of the most prominent members of the Onkyo movement, place much more emphasis on sound texture than on musical structure, distilling elements of techno, noise, and electronic music into a unique hybrid.
Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
