A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Italian duo of brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio utilising an array of acoustic and electric guitars, various toy-instruments and toy-microphones.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
Looking at and listening to different ideas about sound and music, INSTAL 09’s collection of artists included Tetsuo Kogawa, vocalist Joan La Barbara, Phil Minton (and his Century FC feral choir), Austrian Actionist Hermann Nitsch, Steve McCaffery and many more.
Terry is one of the most entertaining and unpredictable musicians in the London free improvising music scene. Rhodri Davies extends his instrument under a battery of techniques creating sound colours and textures quite alien to the harp.

No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.

This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.
