UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Kanta is a young Japanese artist with a home-made, short circuited take on electronics and physical phenomena which he uses in performance to produce close circuit systems of audio / video feedback.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Jandek performing at the Scottish Rite Theatre in Austin, Texas with Juan Garcia, Nick Hennies and Chris Cogburn.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.

What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
