What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
Includes: a classic of innovative computer graphics, ex-pat Scot McLaren on form, a riotous psychedelic oil show with a Soft Machine accompaniment, subtle manipulation of data feedback, a colourful road movie and a reworking of a lost Paul Sharits film.
A sound of buzzing and flickering metallic drones, glottal stops and guttural growls, and also an explosiveness and purity of sound that reminds you as much of Bill Dixon as anyone else.
Could cruising and random public sex be the basis of an ethically organised society? A discussion with Jackie Wang, Samuel R. Delany and Huw Lemmey.
Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
