Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A recently reanimated Ascension, with mighty Leeds drum hero Paul Hession bringing a dense polyrhythmic torrent into play with Jaworzyn’s reinvigorated piercing guitar.
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
