John Butcher plays and manipulates a feeding back saxophone. Benedict Drew on electronics, broken cables and standing waves.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.

Birthed from the collective stagger in global consciousness of the late 50’s and 60’s, this programme celebrates epochal, groundbreaking films that all address sound in their own way and that have opened pathways to experimentation.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
A sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
