Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.
Performances at St Giles in the Fields, London by Jandek, Rhodri Davies & Angharad Davies, Rauhan Orkesteri.
What would have happened in 1963 if someone from the voguing ball scene going on in Harlem had travelled downtown to perform alongside the early postmoderns at Judson Church?
Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?

A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
