Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Power-electronic klutz behaviour indecipherable blasphemies, cuts, bruises and broken microphones by Kovorox Sound head-honcho Lea Cummings.
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.

A Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by improviser yodeller, composer Phil Minton.
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
