Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.

A back and forth between Fred and Fernando on the transits and obstructions between mathematics and poetics, and how both help us to think from the other side.

One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
