A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?

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.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
