A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
When one calls a strike, who hears the call, who attunes and listens to it? How to listen to the call of a strike? What prevents one from hearing this call or stops one from listening to it?
A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
MICRO 1 – Wrap a live microphone with a very large sheet of paper. Make a light bundle. Keep the microphone live for another 5 minutes. T. Kosugi – (1961)
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.

Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
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.”
