CCI Sound system: a performance in which new material will be mixed and phased between two huge PA’s, one a precise Meyer system, the other a huge wall of Marshall amps
Acoustic turntable, engines, trumpet and accordion joined by Bassist Magarida Garcia: build long-form quietly detailed pieces that clatter and rumble, that expand and contract with the tension and release of deeply held breath.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
The Tower performance at KYTN throws into that mix the 70’s fluxus light shows and films of Jeff Perkins and other filmic interventions tuned to their unique frequency.
An open conversation around the history and practices of the Ueinzz Theatre Company – a radical Brazilian schizoscenic theatre company of carers, so-called psychotic patients and philosophers.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
