Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?

Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Jandek performing at the Scottish Rite Theatre in Austin, Texas with Juan Garcia, Nick Hennies and Chris Cogburn.
