Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
Every aspect of every film is always about more than just film. Or, as Godard said: a tracking shot is a moral issue. A cross between a festival, magazine and discussion about experimental artists’ films.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
