A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
HEAVY Japanese super group, featuring the sundown delta blues of Kan Mikami, Toshi Ishizuka’s heavy, time folding drumming and Masayoshi Urabe on sax, harmonica and chains.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.

Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
