Perhaps the paradigm of America’s covert musical subculture, Sun City Girls operate just over the border of raucous delirium.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
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.
John Mullarkey sets in a wider context our understanding of Alain Badiou and Francois Laruelle, two of the most radical philosophers in Europe today.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.

Paul Sharits one of the great experimental, sometimes called structuralist / materialist, filmmakers of the 20th Century.
