Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
Hartmut led “a workshop in the old-fashioned way of discussion, mutual exploration of ideas and samples; trying out what can be shared and where the fault lines show.”
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
