A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.

Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Improvising using nothing so much as the passage of time as his instrument, Basinski creates works of great melancholic depth and fragile beauty.
