Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Out holler/ howl of English pukenoise posterboys exploded by incessant insect chatter of Northern fug dweller.
An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.
A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
The practice of North African Indigenous revolutionary love, in the face of European capitalist violence and settler colonialism, with one of the most vital anti-colonial thinkers in Europe.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
