Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
How do communities practice being one another’s means, addressing their material problems facing them replicating the state’s violent logic of who is disposable.

Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.
