A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
Improvising using nothing so much as the passage of time as his instrument, Basinski creates works of great melancholic depth and fragile beauty.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.
Veterans of the psych-infused UK free noise scene, the Vibracathedral Orchestra is a hypnotic ur-drone group hailing from Leeds.
A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
