Morgan Fisher is a filmmaker of great wit and charm who uses the tools of experimental film to dissect the basic presuppositions of commercial cinema.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.

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.
