A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
John Butcher plays and manipulates a feeding back saxophone. Benedict Drew on electronics, broken cables and standing waves.
A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.

MICRO 1 – Wrap a live microphone with a very large sheet of paper. Make a light bundle. Keep the microphone live for another 5 minutes. T. Kosugi – (1961)
