Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Equal parts spectacle, installation and performance, his set for us is a specially developed work, ‘turning’, which features an orchestra of multiple turntables, 4 projections and a collection of old, and, quite probably, misfiring analogue kit.
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.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
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.
