Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
I wanna be with you everywhere was a gathering of, by, and for disabled artists and writers and anyone who wanted to get with us for a series of crip meet-ups, performances, readings and other social spaces of surplus, abundance and joy.

Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
