Pitching Fahey inspired, eastern-infused folk vibrations, sad elliptical drones and oracle chants into one kaleidoscopic sound.
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
The struggle for sex workers’ rights and how we can understand it in the continuum of care work and other forms of invisibilised and precarious work.
An evening extravaganza celebrating the London launch of Truth & Lies: an Anthology of Writing and Art by Sex Workers
Expect slutty DJs, playful performances, stripper poles, rococo cakes, union broads and intimate readings…
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
This programme is a celebration of Charlemagne Palestine; passionate, extravagant, visceral. Including two sections from Ritual dans le Vide, an extension of his ‘running camera’ works of the 70’s and Pip Chodorov’s vibrant workout of a live version of Strumming Music.
