Talk charting the radical history of experimental music in Japan + the lowdown into the careers of many of the artists appearing at MLFC.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by improviser yodeller, composer Phil Minton.

A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
The program of composed music including Feldman’s Instruments III, Ligeti’s piece for 100 Metronomes Poeme Sympathetique, and Rebonds B by Iannis Xenakis.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
Live in person at Performance Space New York and live-streamed everywhere! Watching Storyboard P dance feels like glimpsing into another world.
