A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Emotional fantasies, towers of cakes, identity troubles, collapsed distance and time and Samuel R. Delany’s rarely seen 1971 film The Orchid.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.

A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface is a multi screen installation born of an intent to reveal the material substance of cinema in its purest form: spatially.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
