Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Guitar solo where inscrutable, minute electric sounds are excavated by palms that smother and strangle, that wring sound from the fretboard, from behind the bridge.
Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.
Whether drawing their own fractured, abstract narrative, or re-contextualising, chewing up and spitting out someone else’s, each of the films here take a dramatic arc as their starting point and throw it to the wind.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.

For this one off performance Vibracathedral Orchestra are joined by Matthew Bower and John Godbert from mighty UK heavy/drone/psych free-noise behemoths Skullfower, Sunroof! and Total.
