One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
A whistle stop tour of visual and material culture that has anchored the sex workers rights movement through the decades until today.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
