Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Moor Mother is a musician, Philadelphian housing activist and black quantum futurist.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Out of a dark haze, shafts of light emerge, as the emulsion is scratched from the surface of the film. Simultaneously, out of the black silence, noise and audible scratches bloom into a bright drone.
Free Jazz group comprising Matt Lavelle, Matt Heyner (TEST, No-Neck Blues Band) and Ryan Sawyer (Tall Firs).
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
