Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
Pitching Fahey inspired, eastern-infused folk vibrations, sad elliptical drones and oracle chants into one kaleidoscopic sound.
Argument is a provocative, multi-layered film essay, a trenchant analysis of the media and remains a critically relevant and critically inflammatory tract.
Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties.
