A filmic constellation exploring Felix Guattari’s anti-patriarchal, anti-colonialist, anti-psychiatric, animist ideas of care and the self. And an Introduction to the Episode.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.

Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.

William cradles, hammers, and rains down blows, plucking and using 2 bows to attack the strings above and below the bridge, all in the service of a fiery and passionate creativity.

Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves
