Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
GIO’s bottomless throat, Blood Stereo’s slobber gobbler and the Mouth Of The South tangle tonsils over Steve McCaffrey’s Carnival

The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.

Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
