A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Vajra are a Japanese psychedelic rock supergroup, hewn from the collective consciousness of Fushitsusha’s Keiji Haino, folk radical Kan Mikami and percussionist Toshiaki Ishitsuka.
The weeks previous TLRS daily radio shows, after-hours conversations, radio booths and special guests reassembled as a live electroacoustic performance.
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
Taking a scalpel to the relationship between performer and audience: cutting something out to see what’s left, a drastic subtraction and shift of emphasis.
Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
Music is full of refracted brass and wind tones, distorted tape loops, dead silent air and the occasional piercing shard of sound.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
