An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Improvising using nothing so much as the passage of time as his instrument, Basinski creates works of great melancholic depth and fragile beauty.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Series of short sets by Acid Mothers Temple / Ruins offshoots Zubi Zuva X, Akaten & Zoffy.
West Coast drone-age guitar grumbler/ consumer electronic reclaimer meets free-thinking clang/ chime/ drone bluesman of The East.

A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades
