Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
What’s the best way to spend time with a musician when they visit a city to perform? And when the musician in question has a great deal to say, what sort of concert do you organise to do justice to that?
Three (thankfully short) chats wherein we try and get at what’s eating us with regards to experimental music, and what we think might be worth salvaging.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?

“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?

An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
