A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
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
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
N30 is a massive, dynamic, immersive multi-channel presentation of front-line field recordings from the protest against the WTO in Seattle
Trio vocal performance of a score by Achim Wollscheid with Aileen Campbell, Junko and Dylan Nyoukis.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
