A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
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”.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
Austrian guitarist who specialises in a warm digital deconstruction of guitar noise
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
