The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.

Pitching Fahey inspired, eastern-infused folk vibrations, sad elliptical drones and oracle chants into one kaleidoscopic sound.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
HEAVY Japanese super group, featuring the sundown delta blues of Kan Mikami, Toshi Ishizuka’s heavy, time folding drumming and Masayoshi Urabe on sax, harmonica and chains.

How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
Conceptual choreography as critique, in Ligia’s film of Caribbean plots and scandals, and the possibilities of anti-colonial revenge, rest and repair.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
