Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
Mirror and Phantom Engineer performing an improvised soundtrack to Benjamin Christensen’s 1922 horror film prototype, Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.

Brother and sister stumble over the early morning horizon in a spectral haze of emotionally devastating lunar vocals and oblique, lithium-soaked folk.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Joan La Barbara presents works exploring the colour spectrum of a single pitch resonating in her skull, an evocation of bird song and circular singing.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
